My mother is suffering from numbness in her left part of body.she has a history of high blood pressure .
CT scan shows she has lacunar infarcts and multiple sclerosis. doctor prescribed some medicines which includes baclofen, ramipril, clopidogrel,amolodipine , atenolol, atorvastatin and escitolopram.
after taking medicines her pulse rate has gone to 45-50 range and blood pressure is still 160/120.
I'd like to ask why pulse rate is going low..is it due to side effect of medicines..

that is quite a high dosage of beta blocker and is likely to give the low pulse. Is the
cardiologist aware of this pulse? The blood pressure medication is quite low and could
be increased. Ask the Cardiologist if the beta blocker should be reduced and the
Ramipril increased.
