Well beta-blockers are originally a heart medication, used to slow the heartbeat. They can also help prevent tremors. I don't think they have a 'calming effect' like benzodiazepines do, but by preventing some of the physical symptoms of anxiety (such as a racing heart) they reduce panic and can help stop people feeling like they are having a heart attack or something similar (something people often worry about when they are experiencing the physical symptoms of a panic attack).

There are, it has been said, two types of people in the world. There are those who, when presented with a glass that is exactly half full, say: 'This glass is half full'. And then there are those who say: 'This glass is half empty'.
The world belongs, however, to those who can look at the glass and say: 'What's up with this glass? Excuse me? Excuse me? This is my glass? I don't think so. My glass was full! And it was a bigger glass!
