Should I Continue Coreg Even While It Brings Down The Blood Pressure ?

I am on Coreg...it seems that no matter what dosage I take (I m on 6.25mg right now)...when I take it my blood pressure plummets down to about 99/65. I have to lay down and wait for it to come back up. Should I be on this drug? I m also in Lisinopril 10mg.

HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

No, the medication should be discontinued if it is causing such a severe reaction but this should only be done after consultation with your doctor.

If you are hypertensive then an alternative medication may be needed for control

I hope this helps
