Hi,

First of all,the medical treatment is not effective, unless you decrease salt intake. Second, you should do some investigations such as: An ECG, an ECHO on your heart and lipid profile, because obesity and atherosclerosis can make hypertension resist the drugs. Second, you should decrease fat intake and eat healthy food. Finally, the use of Non steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as Aspirin with Metoprolol can attenuate the anti-hypertensive effect of Metoprolol, so you can ask your doctor to change Metoprolol if you take Aspirin or other pain killer.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mustafa, Neurologist
