Both comments have been extremely helpful. Thank you for taking the time to answer me.
I did know I should keep my blood pressure down, but rarely check it. When I do it can be in the 150's to 160's and that is alarming. I was taking 50mg metoprolol 2X/day and 10 mg of ramipril 1X/day, but quit the ramipril long ago (I forget why. I think I felt way too tired.) obviously my metoprolol alone isn't keeping my blood pressure down.

Your target BP should be around 120, definitely need to find a way to lower it, your cardiologist should be able to find the right combination of medications for you. I personally take Losartan and Hydrochlorotiazide in the morning and Metoprolol in the evening
