The reason I brought it up aside from my longstanding general knowledge of the effects - recently had a stint in which I was in a more expensive part of SoCal for 9 months, became friends with a fairly rich and fancy doctor through an extreme sports hobby and practically lived with him for 6 of those months (he was just at a point in which he was able to get a place for to have a real workshop, I'm a young mechanical engineer and custom fab/machinist - he was fairly lonely and we just hit it off building and enjoying said extreme hobby) I met a fairly large amount of professionals and extreme sports people all in different walks of life being around him - the vast, vast majority (seriously, maybe I was just in a weird place, but nearly all) would regularly use things like beta blockers in their daily lives (prescribed by a doc for these specific reasons) for things like performance anxiety. They also used a lot of other drugs for various tasks throughout their days... Mainly stimulants - but yeah. From my experience, people are quite aware of them, they're indescribably helpful, and in this modern world there's quite literally no reason to not use them if they can be of assistance to you unless you have an identified cardiac/vascular reason that would be dangerous to.
