BP spikes during Panic Attack

2025-08-02 19:22:32
I am currently on a Somatic Symptom Disorder Treatment and recently started medication Escitalopram 5mg and Etizolam 0.25mg in the night. It's my 13th day pf the treatment and have experienced 2 episodes of panic attack within this treatment. During the panic attack my BP spikes to 160+/100 and 90-100 Heart Rate, it causes headache and pressure during the attack in head. Whereas normally it range between 130-140/80-90 and 65-60 Heart Rate everyday. My heart rate being on the lower side of the normal range , I don't know whether to take any Beta Blocker like propanol daily or SOS during panic attacks OR any other good medicine which can fit best in this scenario.
