I've been noticing that my blood pressure levels fluctuate between 13090 and 14095, and they tend to be higher in the evenings. I'm currently on Telmisartan 40 mg and take it every morning. I'm a bit worried about whether I should keep the dosage the same or if it would be better to adjust it or even change the medication altogether. What do you think would be the best course of action?

Question

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past two months and have been taking metoprolol 50 mg since the first month. Initially, everything was going well, and my blood pressure was 11070, but lately, over the past week, my diastolic pressure is sticking around 85 to 90. It seems like the meds aren't working as well now. I've increased to 50 mg twice a day. What should I do?

I'm 24 and recently found out I have sinus tachycardia and Grade 1 MVP. My Holter monitor showed a few ectopics, and I've been having anxiety that pushes my heart rate to around 130 bpm when I go out. My doctor suggested taking INDERAL 10 twice a day, but I'm worried. I've heard that once you start on beta blockers, you can't stop them. Is that true? Should I really begin this medication?
