If your pulse drops significantly, it is not advisable for you to take further doses of the drug, which will slow down your heart rate even further.

I would advise you to consult your doctor as soon as possible. You will probably need to adjust the dosage or frequency of your medications.

Please remember that this can only be decided by your doctor and it is not recommended to make any changes to the therapy yourself.

If you are unable to contact your doctor, you can use the teleconsultation here:

It is advisable to keep a diary in which you will regularly record your blood pressure and pulse values. This will allow your doctor to assess the effectiveness of the medication you are taking.

I understand your concerns about low blood pressure and low heart rate after taking your evening dose of medication. As a pharmacist, I can only give you general information. As an outsider, I am not in a position to give you individual medical advice on the basis of a brief description alone.

Concor Cor 2.5 mg is a beta-blocker that can lower blood pressure and heart rate. Polfenone 150 mg is an antiarrhythmic drug that may also have an effect on the cardiovascular system. However, it has weak β-blocker properties, so the decrease in heart rate after taking the drug is small.

The GdziePoLek.pl service also allows you to book the listed medicines at a selected stationary pharmacy and pick them up after presenting a prescription:

Although your heart rate is at the lower limit of normal (50-65 beats/min), there is no specific range of appropriate blood pressure values and pulse when taking medication for hypertension - this is a very individual matter. The appropriate pulse during therapy depends mainly on the patient's initial heart rate, as well as on how you feel during therapy, so if you do not feel well with your current pulse - I encourage you to consult your doctor.

Please remember that the observed symptoms, such as malaise, headache or drowsiness, are the result of antihypertensive drugs. Dizziness may also occur, especially when changing from lying down to standing. This is a common phenomenon, especially at the beginning of therapy, when the body has to get used to functioning in new conditions.

That is why it is so important to stay in constant contact with your doctor, especially at the beginning of therapy. Your doctor should monitor you carefully and adjust your medication dosage to avoid excessive lowering of your blood pressure and heart rate, which may cause unwanted symptoms. If you do not have the possibility of an in-person visit, I encourage you to take advantage of the teleconsultation:
