I use concor 5mg for my hypertension and take Troken. I had a chest pain and a high hypertension early this morning. At the hospital they put a patch to lower it. Should I change my medicine? What if

Concor or bisoprolol belongs to a class of medications called beta-blockers. It is used to lower blood pressure , and is proven to reduce risk in patients with heart problems. So it is a very good medication for you and I don't think you should change it. However, many times, a person requires more than one drug, sometimes 2, sometimes 3 , to control the blood pressure.
A patch is sometimes used to lower the blood pressure, but it is not recommended for daily use, unless needed, for example for some patients who have chest pain or angina, secondary to disease of the vessels of the heart.
I recommend that you see your doctor, either your cardiologist or nephrologist ( who are also specialized in high blood pressure), so that proper adjustment to your medication is done, according to your blood pressure at home, and if needed, on 24 hour blood pressure monitor.
Most likely another medication , in addition to concor will be added.
Another important thing I think you should do, if not done yet, is to see your cardiologist to evaluate the chest pain you had this morning.
