Why would your doctor put you on a beta blocker? Is there something going on with your heart?

I haven't looked into this, but I read about it recently in a pamphlet or something.

hi i take propanalol which is also a beta-blocker for anxiety, it does help it reduces the levels of adrenalin that cause panic attacks, since i have been on them i dont have panic attacks but they havent really helped my health anxiety therapy is best for that.
