I'm experiencing all the symptoms that feel like angina. I've had chest pain, shortness of breath when walking, pain in my left arm, and jaw pain. I already did an ECG and an echocardiogram, and they came back normal. Should I have more tests done?

I've been dealing with high blood pressure for the past two months and have been taking metoprolol 50 mg since the first month. Initially, everything was going well, and my blood pressure was 11070, but lately, over the past week, my diastolic pressure is sticking around 85 to 90. It seems like the meds aren't working as well now. I've increased to 50 mg twice a day. What should I do?

Its important to effectively manage your blood pressure, especially if it has started to rise again despite medication. It might be necessary to adjust your treatment plan. Continue monitoring your blood pressure regularly, and consider keeping a log of your readings to discuss with your doctor. In addition to adjusting your dose of Metoprolol, your healthcare provider might consider adding another antihypertensive medication to your regimen. There are several classes of medications that can be used in combination with beta-blockers, such as ACE inhibitors, calcium channel blockers, or diuretics. I recommend scheduling an appointment with your healthcare provider to review your current treatment plan and discuss potential adjustments. They can also evaluate for any underlying factors that might be contributing to the increased blood pressure.

I'm a bit confused about the change in my medication. I was originally prescribed Ciplar LA 20, but now they've switched me to Ciplar 10, twice daily. Is this switch okay, and how much time should I leave between each dose?
