i was last week prescribed Antenolol as I collapsed and had high blood pressure, have taken this since last Wednesday, my blood pressure has come down slightly but my pulse is around 43 which is low, I spoke to Doctor tonight and he said I shouldn't be on Antenolol because I was diagnosed with a blocked left ventrical, so he has now prescribed Rampiril which I need to collect in the morning and stop taking Antenolol, I just hope there is no problem when I change over, I will ask the pharmacist

    What caused your collapse? Presumably it was not your high BP reading or I would often be prostrtated.

    There are BP meds that I cannot take as my heart rate is normally in the 40's

    I took Atenolol some years ago and it reduced my pulse to quite low as well.  It is a beta blocker.  Lack of care on the part of whoever prescribed it for you when you have a blocked left venticle.  The changeover shouldn't cause a problem as you have been on the beta blocker for such a short time.  I hope the Ramipril proves successful for you.

    I was on Ramipril a couple of years ago but had to come off it because of one of the common side effects - a niggly cough.  I am now on Amlodipine and have no problems with that tablet.  I think doctors put you onto the cheaper tablets to see how you get on and only change to a more expensive one if there are problems.
