They put me on Carvedilol (started at 6 grams and now at 25 which is supposed to be a good thing to tolerate the increases). This is a generic for Coreg, or so they told me. The other is Diovan (80mg) it's an angiotensin II receptor antagonist also used to treat high BP.
I visit the cardiologist again next month, I'm hopeful after several months or a year of good readings we might be able to suspend the drugs. Between those meds, working out daily and watching my diet I think that's why my BP and other areas of concern are now showing positive results.
