title: Ask the Doctor. I know that there have been a lot of studies showing that beta blockers help patients with congestive heart failure live longer. I have heart failure, and last year my doctor prescribed a beta blocker. In a few days, I became so short of breath that he had me stop taking it. I am upset that I can't use this important therapy. Is there any way I might be able to do so?
