Maybe (not) . . .: You'll need to address this question w/your cardiologist & family doc. If you're overweight or obese, it's possible to come off blood pressure, cholesterol & diabetes medications by changing lifestyle, eating right, exercising regularly & losing weight. Just curious, but why didn't you mention Lisinopril in your question? Regardless, metoprolol & Isosorbide Mononitrate can help decrease spasm.
