I personally think beta blockers are extremely bad news if not absolutely necessary as they limit heart rate and most have seriously detrimental effect on mental function as well as physical energy.
If you are taking them simply for blood pressure control, there are MUCH better alternatives such as angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) which have far fewer potential side-effects than any other class of hypertensives.
The main issue is that if you have been on beta blockers for a long time, you have to be weened off of them slowly (under the care of a cardiologist or other knowledgeable care provider) to avoid an increased probability of heart attacks, and obviously replaced with some other hypertensive if that’s what they were prescribed for in the first place.
