They don't.

Beta blockers are used for treating:

  • abnormal heart rhythm,

  • high blood pressure,

  • heart failure,

  • angina (chest pain),

  • tremor,

  • pheochromocytoma, and

  • prevention of migraines.

They also have been found to prevent further heart attacks and death after a heart attack. Other uses include the treatment of hyperthyroidism, akathisia (restlessness or inability to sit still), and anxiety. Some beta blockers reduce the production of aqueous humor in the eye and therefore are used for reducing pressure in the eye caused by glaucoma.
