Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

You have given the diagnosis and treatment!
The drugs are effective as long as you take them only... One month is too short a time.
You should consult a Psychiatrist / tailor the drug and dose / have Psychological counselling.
Beta blockers will help / Yoga and relaxation exercises help.

An upper GI endoscopy will clarify the cause for your reflux and heart burns...

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck

Hi

The pressure is not high - It s in upper ranges / high normal.
No cause for concern at this level.
Beta-blockers have a variety of actions and help in blood pressure, pulse rate, angina, anxiety and so on - it will be a good idea to continue for long term

All the best
Regards
