Beta Blockers
Prolonged stress can be linked to high blood pressure, increasing the risk of conditions like hypertension and heart disease. Beta-blockers are medications that work by slowing down the heart rate and weakening the force of heart contractions, ultimately lowering blood pressure. These drugs block receptors in the heart that respond to noradrenaline, which reduces activity in the sympathetic nervous system. This, in turn, helps a person stay calm and relaxed, contributing to the management of blood pressure.
