Help: Beta blockers are often helpful to relieve anxiety and many professional performers (pianists, etc.) use them to help with stage fright. Bystolic (nebivolol) would not be as useful as some of the less receptor specific agents. Metoprolol or Atenolol or even Inderal would be a more usual agent to utilize for this. Be cautious if your heart rate or blood pressure are low as these will lower those more.
