HiImipramine may cause increase in pulse rate .In PTSD also pulse may be slightly on higher sideYour doctor is right betablockers may help in such a condition .being concerned about bp is justifird but it can be started in lower dose say 10 mg bd with monitoring of bp Discus with doctor Trust your doctor and take careDr LalPsychiatrist
