No long term use should not cause any damage at all. Anxiety will cause palpatations and can cause a rise in blood pressure. Please see your doctor and discuss how you have been feeling.

I don't know about that medication, and I am in no place to tell you to discontinue it. What I can do is offer tips/techniques for anxiety and panic that I have gathered from years of researching. Please feel free to message me if you are interested. Please note though that you should never just STOP taking medications unless first talking to a doctor.
