Concor (bisoprolol) can be added to your regimen. It's not the pulse rate of 90/min that is worrisome. It's the blood pressure of 170/95.
Concor can be added to reduce the blood pressure and it also helps to lower down the pulse rate. But I don't see 90/min as many normal individuals have it upto 100/min.
Concor has to be started at low dose and titrated with respect to your blood pressure readings. Olease do it under the instruction of your consultant with regular monitoring of blood pressure.
Hope this helps. Thanks.
