The only problem I am now having and the reason I got stuck on the Beta Blocker is because it's so fast acting. I have high blood pressure and I need medication. Around 2 pm it starts to crawl up, so what I do is take an extra 50mg of metapropal and problem solved, and I can continue working.

It's cheap and it works fast. 100 50mg pills only costs $11.00

My other BP med is quite dear, and only lasts about a month maybe less and costs $22.00

So the issue is that just like every person with HBP the meds are very effective all day,and my mid afternoon BP starts to rise again. I need to quickly take something to stop it from getting high because as I have discovered I am extremely sensetive to the effects of HBP. I start to panic even.

So I need to speak to someone who really understands BP, and see what the alternative to these nasty BB's is. The BB has destroyed my sleep for the last 2 1/2 years. I cannot continue without sleep.
