Rheumatoid arthritis is a long-term condition, so the goal is to control pain, reduce inflammation, and prevent joint damage. Treatment usually includes medicines like pain relievers and special drugs called DMARDs (given by a doctor) to control the disease. Along with medicines, do gentle exercises, physiotherapy, and maintain a healthy weight to reduce joint stress. Continue your BP medicine Amlodipine as prescribed and monitor your blood pressure regularly. A balanced diet, stress control, and regular follow-ups with a doctor (rheumatologist) are very important to keep both arthritis and hypertension well controlled.
