Angina vs panic disorder
I take oha & statin regularly. I feel left shoulder & arm discomfort,mild discomfort in breathing only from emotional stress.My tmt is positive but ct coronary is normal. Doctor prescribes betablocker assuming angina related issue. But it doesn't help me lot. Now i am taking sretralin25 daily. I am now fine ie most of the symptoms free. Does it prove that it was anaxity related? Can i stop now beta blockers as it causes low bp?

Stopping betablockers is not advised as they arent for controlling your BP but your heartbeats. People with anxiety disorders often have high heartbeats often near or above 100 which is technically termed Tachycardia. Having this is not good as it stresses your heart further. If sertraline 25mg is helping you than it is very nice and you should continue with both medications
Next Steps
Get your BP and Heartbeats checked once in order to concluded if their lies a necessity to titrate your dosage of betablockers or not.
