Nadolol vs Propranolol
 | Nadolol |  | Propranolol |  |
| Nadolol is used alone or with other medications to treat high blood pressure (hypertension) and to prevent chest pain (angina). Lowering high blood pressure helps prevent strokes, heart attacks, and kidney problems. In the management of chest pain, nadolol may also help to reduce the frequency of chest pain episodes and improve your ability to exercise. Nadolol belongs to a class of medications called beta blockers. It works by blocking the action of certain natural substances such as adrenaline (epinephrine) on the heart and blood vessels. This results in a lowering of heart rate, blood pressure, and strain on the heart.

| Add Nadolol review I have heart disease, (born with it) had 2 open heart surgeries,always suffered from palpitations, in 2009 I had to call 911 for myself, my heart would not convert back to normal rythm which i could normally do myself. I was diagnosed with A- Fib put on Nadolol & it works great. I also suffer from carpal tunnel which I believe has escalated since taking Nadolol...but ill deal with it :) Very satisfied! I have been in and out of A-fib for several years now and have been on all the arythmia meds. 10 months ago I had a ablation which seemed to help. I have been on Flecainide and first Toprol and now Nadolol. I am experiencing a lot of muscle pain since being on these beta blockers. Has anyone else experienced that side effect? I have only experienced 3 mild A-fibs since. flecanide and rythmol did not stop the arrhythmias but nadolol worked to stop decrease them by 90 per cent without side effects. | Add Propranolol review I have taken this to prevent migraines. It did not work for about 2 months. Now I only have about 3 migraines a month. I was having 3 to 4 weekly.It has made my life so much better. Going from daily migraines down to maybe one a month has changed my life. I am tired all the time and have dizziness but at least I don't have the migraine pain. propanolol did not help at all with head pain MY DAUGHTER SUFFERS FROM MIGRAINES AND HAS STARTED TAKING THIS MEDICATION , I'M REALLY SCARED ABOUT THE OTHER SIDE EFFECTS AND WONDERING IF THIS IS THE RIGHT CHOICE FOR HER. This is my first time taking it after a migraine that's lasted about a month. I was scared to take it so only took half of a 40 mg. pill. My hands went numb and cold my feet still are. I'm having right chest pain and couldn't wake up to answer the phone (but could hear it ringing) I have asthma, hypoglycemia, and many other issues also on an anti- anxiety med with a normally low BP so why the doct ... | |||
