Can you please refer if you are taking beta-blocker medication?

Hi,

I have gone through your blood pressure (bp) reports and found it within normal range.

Your pulse rate is at the lowest range. May I know if you are also taking any beta-blocker medication apart perondipril?

I am only taking 4mg perondipril. I am concerned diastolic is too low.I have been having disabling sensation when standing too quickly feeling like a pulsating sensation in sternum which usually goes off after about 30 seconds although I am on omerprezarol 20mg for acid reflux problems.

Following answer to your query.

Detailed Answer:
Hi back,

You shouldn't worry about diastolic pressure it's normal. Your symptoms are related to acid reflux and aren't related to cardiac problems.

Wish you health!
