The Beta blockers work by blocking the effects of the hormone epinephrine or commonly known as adrenaline. When a patient is advised to take beta blockers, the heart beats will be slower than normal people and with less force, thereby it reduces blood pressure. Beta blockers have a lot of side effects and some of them are mentioned below -
<ul>
<li>If the beta blocker is used for long term, the heart rate becomes bradicardiac which means low heart rate.</li>
<li>Using beta blocker causes dizziness and mental fatigue.</li>
<li>If the patient is using the beta blocker and he is a diabetic, he would eventually become hypoglycaemic; most patients do not understand this adverse effect of beta blockers.</li>
<li>If the patient’s blood sugar level becomes too low, the body will show adverse symptoms aggressively while using the beta blocker.</li>
<li>A beta blocker is known to cause frequent erectile dysfunction in men.</li>
<li>Beta blocker also causes nausea and vomiting.</li>
</ul>
Only some of the common and worst side effects of beta blockers are mentioned above. Even then, it is a very important drug for the management of cardiovascular diseases.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row])
