Hi,

high blood pressure, chest pain due to heart causes, irregular heart beats etc. It belongs to the group of medications known as beta-blockers that acts as a prophylaxis for migraine type headache. It also protects you from future heart attacks and strokes.

medical help. Without informing your doctor, don't stop taking this medication abruptly.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
