I take a beta blocker and other than it controlling how hard my heart can work (along with BP control) there are, and have never been those types of side effects.

Defo the anxiety there, I was actually the same because its a heart medication it set alarms straight off! I take 40mg sometimes when needed like you I felt dizzy a first but after first few times that stops. Its actually a pretty common worry about this medication.. If you went back far enough on this forum I asked because of the same concerns. =)
