Beta Blockers or Telmisartan for BP Management?

[thegentleman]

My blood pressure used to average around 149/89, and over the past few months I’ve brought it down to about 134/80 through regular cardio and, especially, reducing my sodium intake.


My doctor is recommending that I start a beta blocker, but I’ve noticed that Telmisartan seems to be more commonly used here. I’m wondering if it would make sense to discuss that option instead.


I’m planning to start my first cycle in the next few months, so I want to make sure my blood pressure is well controlled beforehand.
