A member asked:
Could anyone help me with low bp and beta blockers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
BB/BP: beta blockers are often used to bring high blood pressure down to a "good" blood pressure target - this specific number depends upon the person and situation. Sometimes they are used for congestive heart failure or to treat arrhythmias, in which case a lower blood pressure number may be tolerated in order to acheive the primary desired effect.
