beta blockers side effects

Greetings,
Can anyone tell me, if using any of the betablockers (which best?) for performance anxiety, could pose any danger?
I would use them perhaps once or twice a month. In general my blood presue is 130/80, I am 35 y.o., and I do have a minor aortic murmur, with rare arrythmias.

Thank you

Yes they reduce the adrenalin flow, and by that everything else that follows, so in my case, when I do my public speaking, it would reduce the anxiety that is present during those.
You can get much more on the subject from the net.
