I've been taking micardis and atenolol/chorthalidone for hypertension. measuring my bp at home I've been getting readings of 120 to134 with diastolics of 84 to 92. These are measured at approximately the same time each morning before any activities. My pulse however had been in the 40 to 50 range before I began the series of measurements I referred to. My MD said to cut the beta blocker in half, which I did. I also began to take Prozac at the same time (MD recommended it). My BP now has gone up to 140/100. Question: is the reduction in beta blocker dosage responsible or is it the Prozac or a combination. My MD is off Fridays until Monday. I'm prepared to stop the Prozac.
