Atenolol 25mg Alternatives

I have only taken 5 or 6 of the atenolol but my bp and my heart rate is fluctuating way too much. It has dropped my heart rate to 51 this morning so I'm not taking this anymore. I'm going to start taking a supplement called "under pressure". I have no other health problems except a sinus problem. I had always taken supplements for my bp which worked fine until I went to a dr for my sinuses and the dr., gave me two nasal sprays. One of them was named msg which is a steroid that caused my bp to get out of control. The doctor put me on amlodipine-benazepril, which gave me tinnitus, then he gave me lisinopril which swelled my tongue. Can you give me any advice about the "under pressure" supplement which I was told can eliminate high blood pressure after about 6 to 8 months of use. Thank you!

Hello, Lacey! How are you?

These types of supplements aren't actually proven to work.

And the important question here is how high is your blood pressure?

If it's reaching dangerous levels, then it is far too risky for you to try a supplement to lower it and wait 6 to 8 months to see if it will work. High blood pressure can be a life threatening condition.

There are ways to lower it naturally, through diet and exercise, but you may need to take a medication in the meantime to bring it down as fast and safely as possible, then eventually stop the medication if you can keep it down without it.

And your blood pressure and heart rate will always fluctuate, they will never stay at any particular steady number.
