Overview

PROPRANOLOL   What is propranolol. Propranolol, a medication in the class called beta blockers, is used to treat heart conditions in patients. Beta-blockers work by acting on the beta receptors in the heart, blocking its action and resulting in a decrease in blood pressure.     How can propranolol be used for those with long-COVID. Recent research has shown that this class of medications may be helpful for those suffering with symptoms of long-COVID. Patients diagnosed with long-COVID often experience symptoms such as lightheadedness, postural orthostatic tachycardia syndrome (POTS), chest pain, and a fast heartbeat.
