answer
Regular vitamins should not have any impact on your blood pressure. Certain herbal medications may affect blood pressure, so if you take herbal medications, it is important to screen each of them for interactions with your blood pressure or blood pressure medications. You can ask your doctor about the dosage and strength of the metoprolol and Atacand. Depending on what you are taking now, you may need an adjustment on your blood pressure medications.
