Hypertension: There are a lot of factors. I see you list a stroke as one of your conditions. Talk to your doctor. He/she my recommend a beta blocker as an antihypertensive with other benefits. If the adrenaline levels are abnormally high, your doctor may want to work you up for a pheochromocytoma, although this is rare.
