One other thing I thought I'd comment on:

"I hear that beta blockers like propanolol decrease the amount of bloodpumped to the heart each revolution. It doesn't sound very healthy or safe for your body or cardiovascular system."

That statement is a little off base. What inderal and other beta blockers do is act like a short circuit on the adrenaline/ fight or flight system, telling it that everything is going just fine. If you've ever used ephedrine, they act in almost the exact opposite way of that. While it is true that they lower blood pressure (that's what they're original exclusive use was), this effect is primarily from lowered beta type adrenaline receptors found in the brain and heart. In other words, its effects are completely stopped after a few days (99% of effects will be stopped in a few hours)
