Are you taking a beta blocker? It's one of the most prescribed drugs in the U.S., so you're in very good company. But perhaps you don't have heart failure or high blood pressure. Perhaps you were prescribed the drug due to heart palpitations or anxiety.

If so, please listen. You truly may be able to avoid the dangerous side effects of this drug while restoring your health naturally.

What do beta blockers do? Beta blockers are used to reduce your heart's pumping force, decreasing the number of times if beats per minute.
Beta blockers also block the effect of adrenaline on your nervous system, so are used to reduce anxiety.

Primarily the drug is used for high blood pressure and heart failure, but also for irregular heartbeats and anxiety.

The drug is not without side effects - no drug is. You can expect side effects of include: shortness of breath, decreased blood pressure to the point that you're dizzy or lightheaded, irregular heart rhythm (yes, perhaps the reason you were given it!), fatigue, nausea, insomnia, ED and sexual dysfunction, along with hypoglycemia that results in passing out, confusion and/or seizures.

What if you could get to the root cause of your heart palpitations (arrhythmias) or anxiety and treat it naturally, making it unnecessary to continue the beta blocker?

We see this often with our patients suffering from Hiatal Hernia Syndrome. It's the pressure on the stomach which spasms your diaphragm and elevates both organs up into the area where you heart sits. The result? Heart palpitations and/or anxiety. The root cause is actually digestive in nature and the treatment is natural, no drugs or surgery.

And if you do have high blood pressure, please know that we are very successful getting to the root cause of it as well.

The summary is that beta blockers are commonly prescribed but not always necessary - there is a natural alternative.
