A cardiologist warns: these 5 medications increase the risk of heart attack and stroke in older people

These medications block beta-adrenergic receptors, preventing the heart from responding properly to adrenaline. The heart loses its natural ability to speed up during exertion or stress. During sleep, this can slow the heart rate to a complete stop. Furthermore, they block insulin release signals, forcing the pancreas to become overworked, which leads to type 2 diabetes. Finally, by crossing the blood-brain barrier, they block the production of serotonin and dopamine, causing cognitive decline and severe depression often mistaken for aging.
