A member asked:
What exactly do arbs do? and how different than beta blockers?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Medication: Both of these meds are commonly used to treat high blood pressure and some other cardiac conditions. They are chemically unique and not related to each other. They have their own set of side effects, but when used appropriately most patients tolerate them well. Discuss with your doctor which is the best for you.
