Hello and thanks for your query.

If you are using an antihypertensive for the past 9 years and if your blood pressure (BP) is well controlled, then why should you discontinue the medicine?

Discontinuation of medicine may cause a serious problem to you.

Since stamlo beta has two compounds in it called as Amlodipine and Atenolol, side effects can be because of both the constituents.

Most people tolerate both the salts very well. However a few people may experience some side effects.

Common side effects of Amlodipine are:
1.     Dizziness
2.     Swelling of feet
3.     Heart palpitations
4.     Fatigue etc.

Serious side effects are:
1.     Chest pain
2.     Hyperglycemia
3.     Arrhythmias
4.     Unexplained rashes

Rare side effects are:
1.     Insomnia
2.     Gingival hypertrophy
3.     Ringing in ears
4.     Sexual problems

Common side effects of Atenolol are:
1.     Tiredness
2.     Cold hands and feet
3.     Low blood pressure
4.     Erectile dysfunction
5.     Headache
6.     Slow heart rate

Serious side effects are:
1.     Chest pain
2.     Worsening of asthma
3.     Worsening of heart failure


Almost all fruits and vegetables help in lowering your blood pressure since they have potassium and minerals in them; however the special ones are as below:
Fruits like melons, berries, citrons, banana etc.
Vegetables like bitter gourd, celery, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, tomatoes etc.

I hope to have answered your query. However you can revert to me for any other query.

Thanks and best of luck
