What are the prescriptions that can possibly lower a higher heart rate?

Various: Some medications include beta- blockers ( atenolol, metoprolol, bisoprolol), calcium channel blockers ( verapamil, amlodipine, diltiazem) could all reduce heart rate. Its important that to see your doctor for proper diagnosis/evaluation of any other medical conditions that may influence therapy choice. Hope you and your doctor find a regimen that works for you. Take care.
