Question

I'm really struggling with these intense headaches since I've been taking telmisartan 40mg with hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg every day. Even though my blood pressure is normal around 12879, the headaches won't go away, and they're really affecting my daily life. I'm also on propranolol 40mg and flunarizine 12.5mg for my cervical spine issues, but the pain is still so bad. Is there any alternative to telmisartan that won't cause these headaches, or maybe any tips on how to avoid these side effects? I'm 52 and really need some advice on how to manage this.

Question

I'm wondering about continuing with corbis bisoprolol 5 mg, which I've been taking for a decade now. My blood pressure is normal, and my pulse is hanging around 60. I'm aware that bisoprolol can lower heart rate, and even though I'm not experiencing any issues, I'm curious whether I should consult a doctor about switching medications because of the lower pulse rate. How long is it generally okay to stay on corbis if I'm not having any problems?
