i had a student whose nerves affected her physically. i suggested to
her mother to get her on beta-blockers long enough to see what calm was like
and then dump them. although she was never as calm as when she had been
taking the beta-blockers, she did have a better idea in her mind of what she
was aiming for.
champion golfer nick price stopped taking beta-blockers and started
winning. he explained that the beta-blockers had taken the edge off his
nerves making him calmer yet, less sensitive to feel.
if you are suffering from high blood pressure, ask you doctor about
avapro. it is expensive if you don't have prescription insurance but, there
are few, if any, side effects.
