Suggest Medication For High Blood Pressure Instead Of Bystolic

Hello, I had a hysterectomy 8 weeks ago. Im also on bystolic for high blood pressure and high pulse rate. Bystolic works great blood pressure usually 110/75 with pusle rate of 62. But my headaches have changed from being in my eyes to being on top like cranial pressure. The headache stayed with ,e for 7 weeks until i stopped taking bystolic now the pressure is still on top of head but the pain is gone. BUT now my blood pressure has shot up to 130/110 pulse rate 88. My dr. told me to cut my bystolic in 1/2 and see if that helps. but...bystolic has no line and it is triangle shaped. What should I do. Ive tried take regular blood pressure medicine but it causes my pulse rate to skyrocket 110 resting rate . Please help. Also I had surgery due to the finding late stage pre cancer.

Hello there

I understand your concern

Nebivolol is triangular shaped and cannot be broken easily

If you are taking 5 mg in the morning then please add 2.5 mg in the

afternoon

Hope that helps
