Psychiatrist,  's  Response
HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic

If you have continuous anxiety, in that case only propranolol would not help you. You need a antidepressant that would help to control the underline anxiety. You should consult a psychiatrist for it. You can also take low dose benzodiazepine on sos basis and can also do relaxation exercise.

Thanks
