A member asked:
Can someone explain to me how come some patients are hesitant to use beta blockers in cardiac disease?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Beta blockers: Your question is very open ended. Most of the people hesitate to use it because of its side effect profile like loss of libido, fatigue, slow heart beat, low BP etc.
