Do beta blockers protect your heart? are the actually beneficial?i take 25mg atenolol daily to control my anxiety. is it good for me?i feel it works

Yes to both: Beta blockers like atenolol do protect the heart and as "lagniappe" they have the added benefit of being (mildly) anxiolitic. If they are obviously working for you: why the question?
