>Hi Donna,
You need a beta blocker that works for you. What is happening is your brain is sending messages to your heart to speed up due to anxiety, you then feel it as palpitations, this makes you more anxious & your brain sends out more chemical messages to your heart to speed up & you end up in a brain-heart-brain vicious circle. What a beta blocker does is block the Beta receptors in your heart & this causes your heart to ignore incoming messages & stops it from going haywire. :)
Cheers,
Panda.
