Your current antihypertensive regimen is not a preferred one. Other than that, you also have propranolol's side effect so your drug regimen needs to be reassessed. If needed, please get a second opinion or to see an expert in hypertension such as a cardiologist or a nephrologist. Good luck.

If your current blood pressure medications cause side effects you probably should see your primary care provider for a medication change. Most medications can cause a variety of side effects in a particular patient. Fortunately there are many blood pressure medications available.
