i take a beta-blocker for my hbp, however it makes my hair fall out and gives me chronic constipation. are you aware of another beta-blocker that doesn't have these side effects?

What medication are you taking?
Have you mentioned this to the doctor or pharmacist?

i take lopressor, generic metoprolol, and i've done quite a lot of research, but i think it might be a side effect of all beta-blockers. i'm just not too keen on going to doctors. (Except my family doctor, who actually is a friend of the family.) i would love to find out which herb does the work of beta-blockers. thank you for responding.

Hawthorn is considered a first choice herb for lowering blood pressure. It dilates blood vessels. I have no experience with it.
You could post your question in Alternative Medicine. Someone else might have more info there.
