Hi,
Looking at your detail that you gave me, you seem to have a normal BMI (body mass index),and normal cholesterol levels which is a good thing. There can be many people who might have a slight or mildly enlarged liver that only means that you should have a little less on your cholesterol or oil in eating and may be alcohol if you ingest it.
You can use ayurvedic drugs for your liver,but I wont say them for hypertension. Now a days many doctors prescribe diuretics as a first line of treatment themselves and you can take it but only on your doctors advice,because there might have been some reason that he prescribed you a beta blocker and not a diuretic.
You may try out other measures(preventive measures),in which you don't require drugs to try to lower your blood pressure because drugs once started might be difficult to stop and they might have side effects.
Following measures will help you -
1. You may try yoga
2. Reduce salt intake
3. Keep less oil and cholesterol in your diet
4. Reduce stress
5. Have a proper sleep and with a proper schedule(sleep cycle)
6. Regular walk or work out for at least 30-40 mins for 5 days a week
Regarding rbbb , if you already have got a echocardography (2decho) done and it does not show any other problem then it can be an incidental finding.
Feel free to ask more questions.
