Re: beta blockers reduce the heart rate
I take 25mg of Atenolol because i have a lot of (PVC's) skipped beats (some days 1 out of every 10) Atenolol isn't a cure but softens then beat so they don't hurt as much. (they hurt in the neck because blood of forced backwards up the vein)
I have no real side affects to the atenolol.
But i had terrible side effects to Prevacid (for stomach ulsers) which made my heart race randomly and skip even more. My PB was 190/110 with the prevacid.
