Amlopidine or metoprolol?

2020-04-23 17:20:32
Sir, all my test like ecg, echo, tmt, chest xray all were normal, except high LDL cholesterol for which doctor suggested me rosuvas and I am taking it. It has been one month since I had chest pain . Now again I am feeling chest pain and tightness. Doctor said to have a bp medicine if tightness and chest pain occur. Which should I take metoprolol or amlopidine? My weight is 110kg and bp one month ago was consistent 140/90. I am not able to measure bp due to lockdown. Which medicine should I take, I have with me metoprolol which I bought a year back or should I buy amlopidine? Please advise.

Hello, Metaprolol can gain weight . Better to use amlodepine. And focus on lifestyle modifications and weight reduction

Metoprolol should be avoided. Nothing wrong in not taking medication for now. 140/90 is ok to wait Try low salt and light excercise. Update after a week
