Patient: I am taking generic for zebeta. dose is 2.5 mg q am. for atrial fib. lately my bld. pressure has been going up in the late afternoon in the range of 140/80 and just now was 150/90. my heart rate is 53. I have been taking the other half of zebeta around 7:00 pm. The bld pressure comes down after about 2 hrs. and in the morning it is up again. Any recommendations?
