I am 48 years old female suffering from hypertension since past 6 yrs. I was taking telmaxx 50 ever since, bt recently a doctor advised me to shift to stamlo (amlodipine 5 mg. It's been 5 days now, BP normal bt my heart rate has increased from 88 to 107-114. Should I be worried?

Telmaxx is a combination of Telmisartan and Metoprolol. Metoprolol controls and slows down your heart beat along with controlling BP. Amlodipine doesnt have the effect of controlling heart rate thats why you have noticed increase in heart rate. You can discuss with your doctor about need for taking something for heart rate if required.
