I have a large sore on my elbow vein that keeps breaking open and bleeding despite using triple antibiotic ointment and bandaids. It looks infected, and I have chronic illnesses including severe gastroparesis and dysmotility of the intestinal tract. My blood pressure is 127/90, heart rate is 114, and oxygen level is 98%. I have an appointment on Monday morning. Should I be concerned, and is there anything else I should do?

I switched from metoprolol to atenolol due to contraindications with Zoloft and breathing difficulties. Are there any contraindications between atenolol and Zoloft or other SSRIs? I'm looking for a more permanent and beneficial solution than clonazepam or Xanax, and I'm trying to wean off these medications. Do all beta blockers have some interaction with SSRIs?
