People who experience heart or blood vessel problems (such as high blood pressure, chest pain, or glaucoma) may benefit from beta blockers. These prescription medications have several uses and come in a variety of forms, such as tablets, capsules, long-acting tablets or capsules, eye drops, and IV injections. The drugs work by reversing the effect of stress hormones, which can help to lower heart rate and both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Possible side effects can include fatigue, a slow heart rate, and dizziness.
