Should I go to the doctor? I have been congested, had a sore throat and earache since Thursday, developed a persistent cough, and am a teacher at a middle school where this illness is circulating. Most people recover more quickly than I am.

I have been experiencing high blood pressure and a heart rate in the 160s, despite having a history of panic attacks and taking Xanax. I am concerned due to a family history of heart disease. I recently went to the ER where an EKG showed SVT, and the doctor prescribed Atenolol 25mg. My main concern is whether I should start with half the dose and increase it gradually, and if this could affect my blood pressure or heart rate negatively.

Should I be worried about this?
