A member asked:
Is general anesthetic safe whilst on beta blockers as pulse only 50bpm on 80mg(propranolol) help ...

Beta blocker: Propranolol use and a low heart rate are not a problem with general anesthesia.

Propranolol: The bblockers reduce the heart rate and the blood pressure. Some anesthesia drugs reduce the blood pressure some the heart rate or both. Fortunately, the anesthesiologists are trained to react and treat both hypotension and bradycardia. No problem. As an advise: do not interrupt the administration of the Propranolol before or after surgery.
