WHAT TENSIG IS USED
FOR
TENSIG belongs to a group of
medicines called beta-blockers. It
works by affecting the body's
response to certain nerve impulses,
especially in the heart. As a result, it
decreases the heart's need for blood
and oxygen and therefore reduces
the amount of work the heart has to
do. It widens the blood vessels in
the body, causing blood pressure to_ _
fall. It also helps the heart to beat
more regularly.
TENSIG is used to:_ _
•
lower high blood pressure, which
is also called hypertension
•
prevent angina (chest pain)
•
treat irregular heart rhythm or
beat such as arrhythmia
•
treat or prevent heart attacks, or
reduce your risk of heart
complications following a heart
attack
•
widen vessels in the heart which
have narrowed
HYPERTENSION:
Everyone has blood pressure. This
pressure helps get your blood all
around your body. Your blood
pressure may be different at different
times of the day, depending on how
busy or worried you are. You have
hypertension (high blood pressure)
when your blood pressure stays
higher than is needed, even when
you are calm and relaxed.
There are usually no symptoms of
hypertension. The only way of
knowing that you have hypertension
is to have your blood pressure
checked on a regular basis. You
may feel fine and have no
symptoms, but if high blood pressure
is not treated, it can lead to serious
health problems. TENSIG helps to
lower your blood pressure.
