A member asked:
Always aware of heart beat, have panic attacks and anxious, scared to take pills due to side effects. had ecgs, echos etc. asthma so can't take beta-b'?

Can take BB: Beta blockers may be the best choice since the other available medications options can lead to physical dependance. A trial of cardioselective beta blockers should be okay in an asthmatic. Non-medicinal therapies such as exercise, yoga, meditation, etc. Should be tried first.

Anxiety: You may be benefited by meditation or similar therapy. Beta blockers can sometimes be given to asthma patients without causing reactive airways to get worse.
