Beta blockers are a class of drugs that are particularly used to manage cardiac arrhythmias, and to protect the heart from a second heart attack after a first heart attack.
I was taking Metoprolol XL. Low dose. One pill. Seemed to work like magic. So, once again, I was prescribed something that is not for what they are really used for, but off label benefits.
All I could think of was that warning in the Cymbalta commercials that said, "Don't stand up suddenly when taking Cymbalta as it could lead to a dangerous drop in blood pressure."
If they had beta blocker commercials, maybe I would have known.
