Nebivolol and Telma AM (telmisartan/amlodipine) work together to lower your blood pressure and heart rate. However, nicotine from smoking and chewing tobacco acts as a strong stimulant, narrowing your blood vessels and directly raising your heart rate. Alcohol can also elevate blood pressure and interfere with how your medications work, keeping your readings high. Even small reductions in tobacco and alcohol can significantly help your medications do their job. Please share these readings with your doctor so they can safely support and tailor your treatment plan.
