Dear Karthikeyan, Inderal will act only on the peripheral nervous system. So it is safe to take for many years. It will reduce the palpitations, thereby reduces further anxiety. But, learning relaxation exercise like Jacobson's deep muscle relaxation or undergoing therapy with behavioural experiments will be a better treatment for anxiety.
