It is good: Propranolol is a beta blocker, and can help to calm down people before stressful times, such as giving a speech, or even times like playing golf on sunday tv.

Maybe: Although beta blocking medications can be used to block the effects of stress on the cardiovascular system, theycan slow ones heart rate significantly and cause wheezing in asthmatics. Ask your physician prior to using one.
