Dear sir

It is very difficult situation where you need to control three parameters such a s
1. Blood pressure
2. COPD
3. Diabetes.

In fact our main concern is to control blood pressure because if we not control our blood pressure properly then there will be pulmonary hypertension causing pulmonary edema.

She is not suppose to take drugs belong to beta blockers due to copd. Her only option is to go for calcium channel blockers and ACE and ARBS.

But the prescription of the drugs depends upon the kidney status and diabetic control.

So the best option is to go for calcium channel blockers

Thanks
