Might I suggest that you ignore the advice to take beta blockers that are unprescribed, stupid and reckless advice at the least!!

I don’t know too much about beta blockers but my understanding is that they have an affect on the heart and kidneys, 10 minutes reading on the internet suggests that they also affect the lungs which is why they are not prescribed for people who have certain respiratory problems.

Apparently these are some of the potential side effects of beta blockers:

  • dizziness
  • tiredness
  • blurred vision
  • cold hands and feet
  • slow heartbeat
  • diarrhoea and nausea
  • sleep disturbance (insomnia)
  • loss of ■■■ drive (libido)
  • depression
  • problems getting or maintaining an erection (impotence)

When you start taking things that mess with your organs in a way they’re not designed to be messed with you’d better be prepared for any unforeseen, and potentially long term, consequences.

I am on medication for blood pressure and it was explained that beta blockers are an absolute last resort, one that I hope to avoid if I can control my diet and weight. If people are putting themselves and others at risk just for a job they need to take a serious look at themselves.
