Your doctor prescribes yet another drug for you, this time it’s Beta Blockers.
Do you take it?
Is it responsible to question your doctor before swallowing?
It’s tough to feel confident enough to question your doctor, but if you don’t ask questions, do you know what you are risking?
First, let’s take a look at the side effects you might expect from taking Beta Blockers:
Adverse drug reactions (ADRs) associated with the use of beta blockers include:
nausea

Clinical guidelines in Great Britain, but not in the United States, call for avoiding diuretics and beta-blockers as first-line treatment of hypertension due to the risk of diabetes.
It’s important to realize that the seriousness of what you are dealing with urgently calls for you to take action.
Your chance to recover from debilitating illness largely depends on your awareness of exactly what it is that you need to do.
The harm caused by pharmaceutical drugs is another possible obstacle.

How much time do you spend every day staring at a screen?
That is television, computer, text messaging … all of those screens.
You may spend more time than you think you do.
Did you know …
Researcher Professor David Dunstan told London’s The Independent that even if someone has a healthy body weight, sitting for long periods of time still has an unhealthy influence on their blood sugar and blood fats.
A study from Australia reports that every hour you spend watching television increases your risk of heart disease by 18%. I’m no math wiz so I won’t tell you what that adds up to, but suffice to say
Your Screen Time Could Most Definitely Be Causing Your Early Signs of Heart Disease!
That same study found that people who spent hours watching television greatly increased the chances of dying early from heart attacks and strokes.
TV increases your risk of cancer death, and your risk of death from all causes.
A lot of the normal activities of daily living that use to involve standing up and moving the muscles in the body have been converted to sitting.
Sitting and reading a book for an hour, could also increase your risk of death.
Is your work increasing the chance of death? If you have to sit at a desk for long hours … Yes.
