Beyond beta blockers: Natural alternatives for heart health
Beta-blockers were first approved in the 1960s and proved safe, inexpensive, and effective at treating heart-related conditions such as high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, and irregular heartbeat. Since they affect beta-receptors throughout the body, they have also been prescribed for migraine, glaucoma, and anxiety.
There are many beta-blockers, and each one works in a slightly different way. In some people, they may cause side effects like fatigue, poor circulation, breathing issues, and gastrointestinal problems. That's why doctors consider many factors (side effect risks, the condition they're meant to treat, and more) when deciding which to prescribe.

Smartheart Digital Blood Pressure Monitor - Adult Wrist Cuff
Smartheart Digital Blood Pressure Monitor - Adult Wrist Cuff
We talked a lot about blood pressure today and you may be curious what yours looks like. Home monitoring is important to help identify changes in your blood pressure over time, and many people find that a wrist cuff is more comfortable to wear than a traditional arm cuff. This one has a nice easy-to-read screen and its memory function can track blood pressure for two people. It can even detect an irregular heart function. Monitors like this used to cost a pretty penny, but this model is only $29.99.
