I have low pulse and am on Amlopidine 10 mg once a day, Toprol 50 mg twice a day, and Benazapril 20 mg 4 times a day, and Diovan 160mg 2 times a day, regualr aspirin around 2 times a day. .05 mg lorazapam 2 times a day. My problem is that my pulse is about 60 or 55 and the BP is 140/90. Any suggestions.

I wouldn't change anything as long as you aren't having any symptoms from the relative bradycardia. As long as you aren't lightheaded or having dizziness or difficulty with exertion I would keep things the same. A heart rate of 55 to 60 is relatively normal. However, if the heart rate were less than 40 I would be concerned. You are nowhere near that.
