Hi,
Thanks for the query.I understand your concern.
You are already taking Metopeolol - a medicine used for high blood pressure & Geloxicam- a drug given to relieve pain in joints has a known side effect to raise blood pressure . So both of these drugs combination should be avoided. Your symptoms could be due to rise of blood pressure.
I would suggest to discuss about the symptoms . He may stop / change either of drugs to make you comfortable & helped .
Thanks.
