    Would beta-blockers (prn for situational anxiety) be contraindicated in a patient with a remote history of retinal vasospasm in 2010? No other cardiovascular risk factors.
    I did not make the diagnosis of retinal vasospasm myself, but it was made by a competent neuro-ophthalmologist, so I am inclined to believe the history.

    If anything it would be beneficial because it will relax the blood vessels
