A member asked:

Is there any blood pressure med which lowers bp but does not lower pulse. thanks?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

There are many!: Yes, indeed. Many BP medicines do not lower the pulse rate. The most common class is thiazide diuretics (there are many). Another class is dihydropyridine calcium channel blockers. Another class is alpha-adrenergic blockers. And there are others!
