Tab. Rosuvas 10 mg is a lipid lowering medication, probably your cholesterol and LDL levels were high that's why they have started the medication. It has absolutely no effect on BP. It is a very safe medication and well tolerated. Please get your Lipid profile checked after 3 months of its use, just to make sure that the drug is working properly and how much cholesterol has reduced. Generally a healthy adult need not take this medicine if his lipid level is within target.

The Tablet.Prolomet XL(25 mg) is a long acting beta blocker metaprolol succinate and is an younger brother of your current medicine Tab.Atenolol.There are few studied showing that prolomet compound is more efficacious and mortality advantage as compared to atenolol. You can safely start the medicine.It will lower the heart rate and BP over 24 hrs since it is a long acting medicine and thus has an advantage.

Your third medicine Cardace is ramipril which is same as ramipress, but again the dosage is little higher that what you are taking currently(2.5 mg VS 1.25 mg).
Get your BP checked up frequently as the dosage of the medicine has been escalated.Report to doctor if you have dizzy spells or extreme tiredness.

Since current meds have obvious advantages you can safely start the medicines.
