A member asked:
Is there a beta blocker (htn), in the higher milligram dosage, that seems to have the lowest degree of dizziness for most patients?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes, but: A whole variety of beta-blockers exist, and side effects may be lower in some, but, typical adverse response is lower blood pressure, slowing of pulse, fatigue, dizziness, depression, exercise intolerance, wheezing, cognitive compromise, etc. Why not look at using a different drug class such as an ace inhibitor or receptor blocker, as there seems to be better stroke protection with this class.
