Beta Blockers, Stage Fright, and Sinus Hell

Comedy shows, beta blockers, migraines, IV drips, and sinus chaos. Performing nearly killed me.

Let’s rewind to early August. I have back-to-back sold-out comedy shows in Houston and Dallas, and my body? Full-blown meltdown. Debilitating anxiety. Beta blockers that barely worked. And to top it off? A histamine storm from hell — migraines, sinus pressure, and nervous sh*ts that laughed in the face of science.

In this episode of Currently Cringing, I spiral through every chaotic moment leading up to the shows:

🔹 Dry mouth, shaking, stage possession — not butterflies, but bear attack energy

🔹 Hotel rehearsals to escape the immigrant household chaos

🔹 My one-woman experiment with propranolol, rice water, and IV drips

🔹 Why beta blockers calm the heart but not the bowels

🔹 The nervous system tax of being a live performer (with a sinus infection)

I was doing immunity IVs like I was prepping for a space launch, chugging Mucinex like it was vintage wine, and still — still — the body said: “No thanks.”

Whether you’re an anxious overachiever, a performer who spirals before the spotlight, or just someone who’s tried to outsmart their own nervous system with supplements and serotonin… this one’s for you.

🎧 Tune in for:

• Performance anxiety that doesn’t care about your résumé
• Why sinus headaches are the actual terrorists
• What happens when you combine beta blockers with a microdose of Mounjaro and a migraine
• And how your audience can save you — even when your immune system won’t
