Hi Barrie I think the anxiety is fairly normal, I know I certainly felt it. Tiredness could be down to your beta blocker assuming you are on one. At this stage I noticed the side effects more as I started to recover. Certainly worth a read of the leaflets and an appointment with your GP to discuss alternates
