I've been dealing with anxiety-induced tachycardia and my resting heart rate used to be around 100-130 with a blood pressure of 130-14070-80 for the past year. My doctor prescribed Ciplar LA 40 mg and Amitone 10 mg, which I've been taking for the past four days. I've noticed my resting heart rate has dropped to between 70-85 and my blood pressure is now around 11080. There's another option, Metoprolol 25 mg, and I'm curious if it's a better choice for me to use just for a month. What would you suggest?

For anxiety-induced tachycardia, both Ciplar LA (propranolol) 40 mg and Metoprolol 25 mg are commonly used beta-blockers to help control heart rate and blood pressure. In your case, since you have already started taking Ciplar LA 40 mg and have noticed an improvement in your resting heart rate and blood pressure within 4 days, it seems to be working well for you. Therefore, I would recommend continuing with Ciplar LA 40 mg for the next month as prescribed by your doctor. It has shown effectiveness in reducing your heart rate and maintaining a normal blood pressure range. Make sure to follow your doctor's instructions regarding dosage and duration of treatment.
