It definitely says it's contraindicated in people with low blood pressure and a low heart rate. But obviously my heart rate goes crazy high when I have these SVT episodes. And my blood pressure increases then too. The rest of the time though, both my bp and my hr are low. I did ask the cardiologist about this previously and I was advised that I should take my blood pressure and my heart rate prior to taking the beta blocker each day, and if they are below normal, then I shouldn't take the beta blocker.
