Medical Forum / General / Cardiology / January 2006Beta Blocker
Back from the Doctor today and he prescribed Atenolol, a beta blcoker. Now that I do a little research I find it has an increased chance of stroke. Im going to ask him to change the drug. I used hyzaar before but tried to wean myself off it but my systolic blood pressure still a little high ( 155+-). What is the best blood pressure medicine if you have to take it? > Back from the Doctor today and he prescribed Atenolol, a beta blcoker. > [quoted text clipped - 5 lines] > > What is the best blood pressure medicine if you have to take it? It depends - particulary on what else is going on with you.
