If your blood pressure has remained below 140/90mmHg with just 1.125mg of concor than you can always stop medicine and monitor and see how your blood pressure behave. If it remains normal than be done with. Sexual dysfunction doesn't always occur with beta blockers and you need to change only if you face side effect. Generally for young man like you, a class of drugs called ARB are best class and if available in your country than telmesartan or olmesartan would be best suited.
