Hello,
Eslo and Losakind should not make your asthma worse. Beta-blockers may do that but the drugs you're using are a calcium channel blocker (eslo) and an angiotensin receptor blocker (losakind). None of them needs to be discontinued because of your asthma.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
