Please do not make this switch without consulting your doctor first. Your home blood pressure of 131/68 is in a very healthy range. Spiking at the clinic is common and known as "white-coat hypertension." Switching from bisoprolol (Concor) 5 mg to a higher dose of metoprolol (MPROL) 50 mg and adding cilnidipine (CUDP) 10 mg is a significant increase. This combination could drop your blood pressure too low at home, leading to dangerous dizziness or fatigue. Please discuss these headache symptoms and medication adjustments with your doctor to ensure a safe plan.
