Get a propranolol prescription online for high blood pressure

Propranolol is a prescription medication that is primarily prescribed as a treatment for high blood pressure (hypertension). It may also be used as a treatment for irregular heartbeats (arrhythmia) chest pain (angina), severe migraines, pheochromocytoma (tumors on the adrenal gland), hypertrophic subaortic stenosis (a thickened heart muscle), anxiety, and tremors. It can also be used to reduce the risk of death after a heart attack occurs.

This medication helps relax blood vessels and increases the supply of blood and oxygen to the heart. Propranolol may be prescribed alone or in conjunction with other medications as a treatment for hypertension. In addition to medication, you may be prescribed certain lifestyle changes to help control blood pressure (such as exercise and dietary adjustments).

Propranolol is primarily prescribed as a treatment for high blood pressure. This medication may be used alone or in conjunction with other medicines/ therapies to lower blood pressure and prevent further complications such as heart disease, heart attack, and stroke.

High blood pressure is a dangerous – potentially fatal – condition in which the heart is met with too much resistance from blocked or narrowed arteries as it tries to pump blood and oxygen around your body. When not treated, high blood pressure can lead to an array of serious health issues including heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and many more complications. Nearly ½ of Americans have high blood pressure, and heart disease is the leading cause of death of people in the United States.

In addition to its use as a treatment for high blood pressure, propranolol may be prescribed as a treatment for irregular heartbeats, severe chest pain, migraines, pheochromocytoma, hypertrophic subaortic stenosis, and tremors. It may also be given to increase the likelihood of survival in patients who have just had a heart attack.

Propranolol belongs to a classification of medications known as beta-blockers. These medications work by blocking the transmission of certain nerve impulses. When stimulated, nerves release a chemical called epinephrine (also known as adrenaline). Adrenaline can cause blood vessels to tighten and narrow. Narrowed blood vessels make it more difficult for blood to be pumped through the body, leading to an increase in blood pressure.

By preventing epinephrine’s effect on blood vessels, propranolol keeps blood vessels relaxed and open which reduces blood pressure and minimizes the risk of cardiac conditions such as heart attack, heart failure, and coronary artery disease.

It is important to note that propranolol is not a cure for high blood pressure, though it does help control it. Your treatment may include prescriptions for other medications, as well as lifestyle adjustments such as dietary changes and increased exercise. Talk to your doctor before starting any of these lifestyle changes to determine the best treatment plan for you.

Propranolol has been shown to cause some adverse side effects. Talk to your health care provider if these side effects become severe, or do not go away within a few days.

Common symptoms reported while taking propranolol include:

• Dizziness
  
• Lightheadedness
  
• Drowsiness
  
• Diarrhea
  
• Constipation
  

This is not a complete list of adverse effects – though these are the most common. Seek medical attention right away if you experience symptoms such as swelling, difficulty breathing, rash, weight gain, or chest pain while taking propranolol.

As with all prescription medication, be sure to inform the prescribing doctor about any medical conditions you have been previously diagnosed with, as well as any medication/ supplements you are currently taking before starting treatment with propranolol. Propranolol can interact with other forms of medication and substances, causing potentially serious side effects. In addition, let your doctor know if you are pregnant or plan on becoming pregnant. If you become pregnant while taking propranolol, inform your health care provider immediately.

The exact dosage for propranolol depends on the medical condition being treated, and the medical history of the patient. Propranolol is commonly supplied as an extended-release capsule, an oral tablet, or a liquid solution. The form of the medication you receive will be determined by the prescribing health care provider.

If you have been prescribed oral tablets or extended-release capsules, do not crush or chew the medication when taking it. Take the medication exactly as prescribed, and inform your doctor if you begin to experience any side effects while taking the medication.

Do not discontinue or increase your dosage of propranolol without consulting your doctor first.
