beta blocker
Cardiac rhythm regulator
A beta blocker is a medication that slows the heart rate and reduces blood pressure by blocking the effects of adrenaline on beta receptors.
Doctors prescribe beta blockers for heart conditions, high blood pressure, and anxiety symptoms like racing heart and trembling.
My doctor put me on a beta blocker after my heart attack.
