Olmesartan (generic Benicar) has worked well for my BP. Atenolol was added upon discovery of my 4.8 cm ascending aortic aneurysm and bicuspid aortic valve. The atenolol slows heartbeat, thereby slowing the constant abnormally high pressure hitting by aorta due to the bicuspid valve. Helps with BP, too.
