Which blood pressure medication would be best for me, given that Telma did not control my blood pressure, Amlokind 10mg caused leg swelling, Olmezest 40H caused severe weakness, and my current medicine, Aten 50mg, controls my blood pressure but has dropped my pulse rate too low to 45 beats per minute?
A heart rate of 45 on Aten is low, so please consult your doctor promptly to address this. It is very important that you do not stop taking Aten suddenly, as beta-blockers must be tapered off gradually. Since Telma, Amlokind, and Olmezest 40H caused issues, your doctor might consider trying a different class of medicine, such as an ACE inhibitor (like ramipril or lisinopril), or perhaps a lower dose of amlodipine to prevent swelling.
