Condition Bystolic Treats
Bystolic is used for the treatment of hypertension or high blood pressure. High blood pressure is defined as multiple blood pressure readings higher than 140/90. Normal blood pressure readings are 120/80. The top reading is called systolic blood pressure while the bottom reading is called diastolic blood pressure. Bystolic belongs to a class of drugs called beta blockers. Beta receptors are found in different area within the body like on the heart muscles and blood vessels. Stress hormones like adrenaline work by binding to these receptors and causing a response within the body. As a result of this binding, the heart rate and blood pressure increases and blood vessels constrict. Bystolic binds to beta receptors and blocks the action of stress hormones like adrenaline. In this way, the effects of this hormone are reversed. In other words, the heart rate slows down, blood pressure falls and blood vessels dilate so that more blood reaches the heart. Bystolic has shown to be very effective in lowering both systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Besides treating hypertension, this medicine has several off label uses too. These include treatment of chest pain, migraine headaches, irregular heartbeat, anxiety, and tremor |
