Yes, there are other medication options for controlling blood pressure. They all come with side effects, so discuss the pros/cons of each with your doctor. I recommend just explaining to your doctor the side effects/symptoms you've been experiencing and ask about other treatment options.   Of course, the best bet would be to control your blood pressure by making diet and lifestyle changes so you can avoid medication all together. You may want to consider the DASH diet. Either way be sure to work with your physician to monitor your blood pressure levels.   All the best, Lisa Nelson RD 7 Natural Ways to Lower Blood Pressure
