YOUR B.P. IS EXECELLENT. BUT IT MAY BE DUE TO ATENOLOL PRESENT IN YOUR AMLOPRESS AT .IF YOUR PULE IS VERY LESS OR LESS THAN 50 . YOU MAY SWITCH OVER TO OTHER LOSARTNA OR DIURETIC TYPE OF DRUG.

your combination -Amlopress-At-contain-Amlodipine-5mg and Atenolol-50mg.Both combination can produce Bradycardia.I think ,you do E.C.G. to rule out any cardiac abnormality.Otherwise ask your doctor to change combination.

AmilopressAT contains Amilodopine and Atenanol either 25mgm or 50mgm.It is the Atenanol which is a selective Beta blocker can slow the heart rate.You have got your blood pressure well controlled.If you are taking blood pressure tablets for a long time you should continue with out stopping. Blood pressure can go up alarmlingly high if treatmrnt is discontinued abruptly. High blood pressure can bring Stroke. Heart attacks and target organ damages. I think you should see your doctor who may change your medication if bradycardia bothers you.
