Beta blockers are generally no longer a first line agent for high blood pressure unless in specific sub groups. If used in those specific subgroups then benefits outweigh risks of high sugar and cholesterol levels.

Hello, Beta blockers are second line BP medicines. You first need to start with first line agents like ARB or CCB or diuretics. And beta blockers do not cause diabetes it just increases insulin resistance little bit. Consult online directly for further evaluation and management Take care

Hi. Beta blockers are not the first line agents for hypertension. But bisoprolol has can be used in uncontrolled hypertension which has less side effects comparing to others.
