Selective betablockers cause less brain involvement. Example is atenolol. It was designed for controlling blood pressure mostly, and anxiety.
The non-selective ones, go into the brain, and typically cause depression and amnesia. Propranolol for example is being looked at for Post Traumatic Stress disorder. It is not surprising therefore that propranolol was chosen for you, because it works all over the body, and not mostly on the heart. But it still affects the heart like the selective ones do.
I cannot answer your RSD question. That is for the experts. sorry.
I really think you should talk to your cardiologist. He/she would understand what to do for you better than an internist.
