Hi! I didn’t have AAA but had descending aorta repaired- @mplopez5 I have been on a beta blocker for almost 5 years now- metoprolol- I have no issues with it. I was taking 2 times a day- recently switched to the long acting once a day. But I feel the benefits far outweigh the side effects. It is not only for bp control- there is a reason for the beta blocker and its effects on the artery. Try taking it- there are others you can try if
The one prescribed doesn’t work well for you. Best wishes to everyone!

Thank you, I will start them. They are in my office on my desk so I have to make a conscious decision every days.
