Suggest Treatment For Anxiety Attacks While On Propranolol

I have been taking Propranolol ER 160 mg for over a year for migraines. I decided to stop taking it a month ago. Since then, within the past week, I have been having anxiety attacks. I ve had 5 in 8 days. I ve never had anxiety problems. I started taking the Propranolol again since my blood pressure would spike with the anxiety attacks; however, I started it at the dose I was on before (160 mg) and my heart rate has been dropping. It was 43 last night and I was shivering and could not get warm. What do you recommend I do? Stop taking the Propranolol again? Get a lower dose? All of this is scaring me. Thanks for your time.
