What Is The Treatment For Hypertension And Palpitations Of The Heart?
i have an uncle,63years,75kg, with hypertension and it's well controlled on nifedipine 10mg OD,tozaar 50mg .He recently started getting palpitations not associated with increased activity or any known aggravating factors.A doctor added nebivolol to his prescriptions but he still has palpitations yet his BP is well controlled.His ECG and cardiac echo are fine too.What can be done to relieve these palpitations?

Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The dose of Nebivolol could be stepped up / other drugs may be reduced, if necessary - especially nifedipine...
If not controlled, investigations like Holter will be necessary…
Take care
Good luck
