Please refer to detailed information below

Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going through the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that concor contains a beta blocker called bisoprolol, now bisoprolol is quite effective in controlling fast heart rates and has less effect on blood pressure.

I would like to suggest you to kindly discuss with your doctor and start taking a calcium channel blocker like amlodipine 5 mg in evening along with concor.

Also avoid taking extra salt and smoking. Stress and anxiety also causes raised bp.

Hope this information will guide you through.

Kind Regards
