I'm currently taking Corbis 1.25 as a beta blocker for blood pressure, and while it seems to be under control, my heart rate sometimes drops to 56 or goes up to 68. I'm feeling dizzy on and off, and I'm worried if this slow heart rate is the reason. Is it okay for me to stop taking my blood pressure medication?

It seems like the beta blocker medication you are taking is effectively controlling your blood pressure, but it may be causing your heart rate to decrease at times, leading to symptoms like dizziness. It is important not to stop the medication abruptly without consulting your doctor. Instead, you can discuss with your doctor about adjusting the dosage or switching to a different medication that may better suit your needs. In the meantime, if you experience severe dizziness or any concerning symptoms, please seek medical attention promptly.

A heart defect can cause breathlessness, fatigue, or infections later in life. Get an echocardiogram. If large, surgery may be needed before adulthood.
