I'm taking Metolar XR 25 for last 20 years. Maintained BP well but nowadays BP reaches 145/98 mmHg. Otherwise maintain 120/85 or 117/75 at different times. Please suggest suitable treatment if need to change medication.

Hi there Metolar XR 25 Capsule belongs to a group of medicines called beta blockers. It is used to treat high blood pressure (hypertension), angina (heart-related chest pain) and irregular heart rhythms (arrhythmia).  Reduce stress(most importantly)+ reduce overweight + moderate exercise + change daily diet + use alternate drug/change drug + check lipid profile+ monitor BP
