Brief Answer:
Do you have high BP?

Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.

You are on glyciphage which is metformin - oral medicine for diabetes. You are also on met XL which is metoprolol and is prescribed for high blood pressure (hypertension).

Thus I would like to know if you have hypertension. Also let me know if you are experiencing any other symptoms or new symptoms since you started the drugs.

Waiting for your response.
