How Can Low BP And Atrial Flutter Be Treated?

I have been diagnosed with atrial flutter on the left side. I have very low blood pressure, and the beta blocker Altenolol, 25 mg. causes my blood pressure to go down to 80/50. I have a call in to my cardiologist about cutting the pill in half. Is there a period of adjustment to this medication What can I expect? and thank you
