Posted on Wed, 10 Feb 2016
Question: Dear, i am male 31yo, 183cm, 107kg. My bp during 24h holter was avg. 140/80, at night 115/60. My doctor told me not to worry too much as i am hypersensitive. When I take pill for nerves (xanax) my bp goes down to 125/75. When I am stressed at work my bp is 140/95. I dring atenolol (bp lowering pills) in low dosage. What can you suggest to lower my bp and to better control raising of bo during stress? My heart rate is avg 55 because of Atenolol pills. Thank you
