Normally the mainstay of anxiety treatment is medication such as SSRI class of drugs which are highly effective for anxiety. Beta blockers such as betacap, or benzodizepines are only given temporarily to control the physical symptoms of anxiety till the SSRI medicine starts to take effect.

Also dose used for anxiety is usually between 20 to 40. 60mg is not used.

Believe at age above 60, even systolic blood pressure till 150 is acceptable. Once in a week bp monitoring, mild reduction in salt intake (after monitoring electrolytes balance), and then periodic review with your doctor should help. If you have been using propranolol fro some time, then it is clinical judgement, but pls don't suddenly start it at 80 mg/day, as it can cause sudden fall in blood pressure.

Betacap is known to cause erectile dysfunction in few patients, in view of your heart rate it was probably prescribes to you, but you can consult your treating doctor for change in medication. Also the cause of your high BP and fast heart rate should be thoroughly investigated, please consult a cardiologist regarding the same.

If your you are taking it for hypertension you have other safer options to use for long term as you" ll have to take medicine for bp always. Taking it for anxiety, tremors etc you should not have to take it for that long. Then it is not a problem. Consult a doctor before stopping medication.
