Is Taking Beta Blockers Safe For Performance Anxiety?

Hello, I have a weird type of performance anxiety in that I enjoy public speaking/interviewing/presentations but my body seems to not enjoy it at all. I can notice myself dripping sweat as well as being shaky even though mentally I am fine. I have heard of beta blockers to help this, is this a good idea and how do I go about getting it prescribed?
