Bisoprolol for tachycardia?

Hiya guys

I've basically has this spontaneous tachycardia which no one is able to put a cause to at the moment. I've been tried on Bisoprolol 2.5mg for this. And to some effect it is working. Before I was ranging from 90-180 now I'm anywhere between 58-130. However I have noticed my blood pressure has gone up! I never used to have a problem with blood pressure but now it's going up to 144/84. Is this normal with beta blockers?

Last week before the Bisoprolol I was having bps of 118/70. Although I was extremely tachycardic and no one was sure the cause ranging anywhere 140bpm+ at rest!

Now it seems like my heart rate has come down. Actually nearly Brady. 64 BPM but blood pressure of 154/87 this evening! Just abit bizzare and was wondering if there's any correlation to my heart rate lowering the BP is going up. I've never had a bp issue ever before this.

24 Hour tape normal except confirming I'm in sinus tachycardia in excess of 140 majority of the day.

Echocardiogram normal except confirming the tachycardia of 140

Bloods - iron, FBC, d-dimer, magnesium and other electrolytes, cholesterol. Which have all come normal.

Chest X ray - normal incase there was a clot somewhere was their original thought hence the d-dimer too.

Abit bizzare!

I've got doctors in two days time but was just curious if this was normal. As I've only been on this tablets for 8 days and yes HR down alot which is great but concerning to have a hypertension by alot that I never had before since taking them too.
