Always make sure to consult with a doctor to determine the best course of treatment for your specific situation, but the general rule of thumb goes as follows:

1. Beta blockers. These types of medications block the effects of adrenaline which aid and slowing the heart rate and there by reducing blood pressure. Common example examples are metoprolol, propranolol, and atenolol.

2. Calcium channel blockers. These sorts of medications relax the blood vessels and Aiden slowing the heart rate. Common example examples are diltiazem and verapamil.

3. Antiarrhythmic drugs. Antiarrhythmic drugs regulate the heart rhythm to treat any present any abnormalities. Amiodarone and Flecainide are common example.
