Suggest Treatment For High BP Despite Taking Metoprolol
For the past 3 days my blood pressure has been anywhere from 145 over 86 with heart rate of 75, to 166 over 90 with heart rate of 76, my last reading. I have been taking 25mg of Metoprolol all along but have doubled the dosage today. I am 84 years old. What should I do to get it lowered quickly instead of going to the ER ?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
I suggest you to add another medication for high blood pressure treatment like Lercanidipin or Amlodipin. You can take a dosage from that in case you have high blood pressure values.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
