Hi,I am Dr. Shanthi.E (General & Family Physician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I am at present taking Toprol xl for my heart. The last test I had said that there is nothing wrong with my heart because I have 4 stents in me. I m having a lot of side effects and some are very bad. Is there a medication for controlling blood pressure that isn t a batta blocker?
Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
There are lots of drugs other than beta-blockers that can work well for blood pressure. However, beta-blockers may be sometimes preferred. If you have problem with one beta-blockers you can use another which may better be tolerated, if still not, you can always talk to your doctor for change as there are many other options.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Mahboob Ur Rahman
