Basic Information On Bystolic
Bystolic is used to treat hypertension. It belongs to a class of drugs called beta Blockers which reduce the effect of stress hormones, like adrenaline, that cause blood pressure to increase. By countering the effects of these hormones, the Bystolic drug reduces the heart rate and decreases the volume of blood being pumped out of the heart, which in turn decreases blood pressure.

Signs of very low blood pressure include shortness of breath and feeling fatigued. Asthmatics are more likely to experience trouble with breathing, due to this medication. Edema or swelling of the peripheral heart accompanied by chest pain can also result. Nausea and stomach pain are other common side effects.
