Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Swelling of feet in this setting needs investigations to exclude heart failure...
[There are other reason - kidney, liver, veins, low protein and anaemia...]

If increasing the dose of beta blocker does not help and you have side effects - a drug from a different class may be added.
But it is better to investigate first as to the cause of the rate.

Anxiolytics are helpful at times

Discuss with your doctor.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
