Can you ask your doc for another bl pr pill instead of beta blocker? I can't take bbs. It makes my heart go too low and then out of rhythm real bad. At the er two yrs ago when i got worse after taking bb's the doc there said to stop taking them. He saved my life. Slowly my heart went back into rhythm. I take half a tab of lisinopril plus garlic, hawthorn, hibiscus tea, Q10 and sometimes more. I am doing ok. One time when my doc prescribe the bb i told him i couldn't take it. He upped the lisinopril. I don't take the whole pill, but i do check my bl pr like 6-8x a day at least. If it goes over 140/90 i take another half pill. But i always check the bl pr. My normal resting heart rate is 60 so i can't take the bb.
