Beta blockers have been called ';the musicians underground drug.'; Beta blockers block the receptors for the physical effects of a person's natural fight or flight response. The drug reduces physiological symptoms of anxiety such as pounding heartbeat, cold hands, heavy breathing and sweating.





Beta-blockers work by blocking adrenaline in the heart and blood vessels. Adrenaline speeds up the heart rate, makes the heart muscle contract more strongly, and constricts arteries throughout the body.

Because they can lower blood pressure and slow heart rate, people diagnosed with low blood pressure or heart conditions may not be able to take them.
