A member asked:

Beta blocker ( 5 mg bystolic) is causing lot of bad side effect. would arb/hct or ace be good replacement to treat coronary artery blockage.? thanks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Different: Ace/arb is a different class of drug than a beta blocker. Both are used in the treatment of coronary disease and are effevtive. You may need to lower the dose or try a different beta blocker if not done already. Check with your cardiologist.
