Hi and welcome to ehealthforum!
Patients recently withdrawn from beta blockers may develop a withdrawal syndrome with increased angina, probably related to increased sensitivity to catecholamines.
This is a transient sympathetic hyperresponse (the amounts of catecholamines aren't reised, but sensitivity to them is increased) and it's symptoms are transient palpitations, tremor, sweating, headache, anxiety and general malaise.

How do you feel now?
