My auntie in Indonesia has a hypertension and one of her medication is Bisoprolol.

I am not sure if it could help with anxiety.

All I know, in 1994 I was given at first Tenormin 50mg ( Atenolol), and was told by my GP that I only take it once a day, as it has a long half life in body.
But, it didn't really seem to help.

So he changed it to Inderal ( Propranolol) 40mg, to take twice a day.
He explain it works better, as it crosses the Blood Brain Barrier, while Atenolol doesn't, but Atenolol advantage is only its long half life, so once daily dose is enough.

I hope this info helps,

Kind regards,
