Beta blockers should take care of the racing heart/heart palpitations. The side effects can vary, as with any other drug. For me, propranolol caused some nausea, depression, lightheadedness, low blood pressure, and cold extremities. I guess the latter two side effects are due to the beta blockers keeping blood from going to your head and hands or something like that, if I remember correctly. I didn't stay on it for very long, but it did take care of my physical anxiety for as long as i was on it. It may be worth a try for you.
