A member asked:

I have hypertension. usually around 140s/90s in the morning before i take my pill. i usually am around the upper 120s/70s. is this good? should it be lower? i take 5mg nebivolol once in the morning and once at night?

I would not consider that good control. The idea is to keep you in a normal range all day. The pills you take should reach a steady state of effectiveness 24/7. I would discuss this with your doc.

Nebivolol is a great beta-blocker with some intrinsic nitric oxide activity, but is not a first-line medication for high blood pressure. Options for first-line treatment include: - DASH-Diet & Exercise - Calcium Channel blockers - ACE inhibitors / ARBs - Thiazides Given your age, I am suspicious of: 1). Your weight? 2). Sleep apnea?
