Hello, Aubrie! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem you're having.

There are many other options available for treating high blood pressure, including some in the same drug class, which as listed by the FDA is beta blockers, such as Metoprolol, Propranolol, Atenolol Nebivolol.

Typical side effects are listed as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach pain, increased urination and hypotension.

Have you discussed the problem with your doctor? They should be able to prescribe an alternative to replace it.

I have talked with a pharmacist. I am waiting to see the change in blood pressure and/or the change in the rash after a week or two without the drug. If it goes away, I will ask the doctor for a substitute.
