This is what I teach my cardiac pts: If the top number of your

blood pressure is under 100 or your bottom number is under 50 or if your heart

rate is under 50 do not take the beta blocker. If any

of the three apply. Wait take your blood pressure

later and if none of the above apply than take it.

DJ,

IMHO if your doctor

told you to take the blood pressure meds – you should take them! Our group can

offer advice and support, but everyone here should listen to their own doctors at

all times regarding meds and test etc.

Ken was on blood pressure meds for 7 years before transplant, you

surely don’t want a bleed. _,___
