WHAT APX-ATENOLOL IS USED FOR APX-ATENOLOL 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. APX-ATENOLOL 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. APX-ATENOLOL Soma hati kamili
