If your pulse is consistently below 60 beats per minute (bradycardia) and you are considering taking a beta blocker, it's important to consult with a healthcare professional first. Beta blockers can further lower heart rate, which may not be safe for everyone, especially if bradycardia is present. Your doctor will evaluate your specific situation, including the reasons for the low pulse and any underlying conditions, before making a recommendation.
What else can I help you with?
Can you be allergy tested while being on a beta blocker?

Is atenolol a calcium channel blocker?
No. Atenolol is a beta adrenergic blocker.
Is metoprolol an inotropic agent?
Yes, metoprolol is a beta-adrenergic receptor blocker. It blocks the beta version of adrenaline from attaching and sending signals to the cardiac tissue lowering pulse rate, stroke volume, and stroke force.
Is propranolol a steroid?
No it is not. It is considered a beta blocker which works to decrease blood pressure and decrease heart rate.
Is losartan potassium a beta blocker?
No, losartan potassium is not a beta blocker. It is an angiotensin II receptor blocker (ARB) used to treat high blood pressure, heart failure, and other conditions related to the cardiovascular system. Beta blockers work differently by blocking the action of adrenaline on beta receptors in the body.
What diuretic should you take with a beta blocker?
When taking a beta blocker, a common diuretic that is often used is hydrochlorothiazide. This combination is frequently prescribed for managing hypertension and heart failure, as the thiazide diuretic can enhance the blood pressure-lowering effects of the beta blocker. However, the specific diuretic choice may depend on the patient's individual health conditions and should always be guided by a healthcare provider.
