I'm currently taking Olmezest 40, but it's getting really pricey. Should I switch to Olmetime 40 instead? What's the difference between the two?

I'm a bit concerned about stopping my beta blockers because I've heard you can't just abruptly stop them. My physician suggested that my blood pressure and heart rate spikes might be linked to anxiety and recommended Anxit 0.25 mg for when my pulse gets fast. He also mentioned that the beta blockers might be causing my ongoing dry cough and advised me to quit them. But, shouldn't there be some kind of substitute for my blood pressure? I'm worried about what might happen if I just stop without any alternative. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this situation?

I'm curious about why my blood pressure spikes to 180100 during times of aggression, while it's usually around 11080 or 12080 when I'm calm. I don't have diabetes or thyroid issues, and my echo, ECG, and TMT results are normal. My lipid profile shows LDL at 60, HDL at 37, and total cholesterol at 110. Is there any underlying pathological condition that could be causing these blood pressure fluctuations?

Aggression or stress can indeed cause a temporary spike in blood pressure. Since your heart tests and lipid profile are normal, the elevated blood pressure may be due to situational factors. However, it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consider lifestyle modifications. In case of persistent high blood pressure, your doctor may prescribe medications like Amlodipine 5mg or Losartan 50mg to help keep it under control.
