The most recent order of preference in high blood pressure drugs I’ve read, due to risk/benefit, would be ARB, Calcium-channel blocker, then beta-blocker, then diuretic.

Maybe this shows a reason to shake that up, or add it as a low dose option while reducing the potency of one of the others ones you may already be taking.

In my case I've been taking all of the above for about 30 years.

I just throw a handful on my cereal and call them lucky charms.

Funny how those drugs are also given to animals, but you never hear the liberal saying that beta-blockers and such are “cat and dog medications”, just like they’ve disparaged Ivermectin as “horse paste”.

A single pill, beta blocker (Benicar), took my asymptomatic high bp from around 190/115 to a regular 110/65. Been with it for 16 years now, at 53 no other prescriptions are necessary, just do a couple vitamins. Nice to hear there could be some other positive.

Beta-blockers stopped my daughter’s frequent migraines.

I never thought I would be jealous of those on Beta blockers and or the Calcium channel blockers. My BP has been 128/65 as long as I can remember.

Now if someone can point me to a pretty older lady with parkinsons. Dates to the drive in theater will be better than ever.

(Hint) That last bit was a joke..
