Due to ongoing blood pressure issues I am receiving a multitude of medications, but my doctor wanted to cut down some of them, or rather change them a little bit.

&amp;#x200B;

I was put on Bisoprolol but noticed that it caused strange blurry vision, and the reason I am taking BP meds is because I am already suffering from damaged vessels in the retinae, due to said Blood Pressure.

&amp;#x200B;

Now reading the internet, as we all do when we have Anxiety issues, I found out that when you google you find " This medicine can cause certain **eye** problems. If left untreated, this can lead to lasting eyesight loss. " as the first result. GREAT.

&amp;#x200B;

I told my Doctor and he raised both eye brows but prescribed me something else in return.

Google that one and you get "Results: **Carvedilol** was significantly associated with **hearing loss**. Other beta-blockers including metoprolol and atenolol showed no association with **hearing loss**. ... Conclusion: Chronic use of **carvedilol** was associated with significant **hearing loss**."

&amp;#x200B;

I could use profanity now to describe my situation but I would rather not but what the unholy F-word is going on with meds these days!

&amp;#x200B;

Am I freaking out over nothing, or is this some serious stuff that needs to be considered? i know if I tell my Doc that I want a certain medication turned off because of these issues, he will probably kick me out and I'll sit there with no Doctor.

&amp;#x200B;

Has anybody gotten any solid information on those meds?

&amp;#x200B;

On a sidenote, when taking a quarter Bisoprolol 1.25mg \[that is 1.25mg/4 = 0.3mg\], my anxiety vanishes completely within a half hour. It's working better than ANY of my antidepressants and anti-anxiety meds like Tavor and such, ever did.

&amp;#x200B;

The result in the way it works for me, these Beta Blockers, was surprising. I am under the same level of stress as always, but my heart stays normal speed, my Blood Pressure stays at optimal levels, and my anxiety \[heart burn, tummy full of butterflies, sweaty hands and feet\] disappears within said HALF hour, and stays gone gone for at least 24-30 hours. All in all, the BB have greatly removed my Anxiety to such a level that I am completely fear and anxiety-free.

&amp;#x200B;

Even when googling the side effects, my heart doesnt pound, my head doesnt race, and my stomach stays calm too. It's like every fear is just gone. The **rational side** of me, though, stays untouched, and that side is greatly concerned about those meds.

&amp;#x200B;

So I ask again, can someone please tell me if they have some experience with it, is the internet lying, or is it absolutely dangerous to take those meds.

&amp;#x200B;

I'd hate to trade a stabilized eyesight for my hearing, and I would equally dislike trading my eyesight for a regulated BloodPressure, since this BP controlling is done to save what eyesight I have left in the first place!!
