Hello
Welcome to HCM
Thanks for posting your query. I understand your concerns.
As you are already on codivon which is a combination of two drugs like valsertan and hydrochlotothiazide, no need to add on one more drug like beta blockers. Your blood pressure is slightly borderline high. You need to regular exercise and cut down the sodium intake.


These measures will help to decrease yourbp within normal range.

But there is no harm in taking aspirin . It's a very good anti platelet drug. You start taking the tablet after food.

Hope you are happy with the answer
Thank you
