I am not an opera singer, but I do a lot of sacred and musical theater stuff locally. I have in intense LOUD pounding in my chest and ears when I stand up to sing, totally controlled if I take a beta blocker, but as I stated earlier, I am tired of depending on them. Mentally, I feel no nervousness, and actually feel great about performing until I stand up to do it, then the pounding starts. Most unnerving.
