I have been taking Amlong-5 for five years, but my blood pressure is currently 140/90 mmHg, and I experience stress and palpitations. Do I need to adjust my dosage or switch to a different blood pressure medication?
Your current blood pressure of 140/90 mmHg is slightly elevated, but there is no need to panic. Since you have been taking amlodipine for five years, your body's response may have changed, and stress can also raise your readings and cause palpitations. Please do not adjust your dosage on your own. I recommend consulting your doctor soon. They can evaluate your symptoms and may consider adjusting your dose, switching to a different medication class that also helps control heart rate, or adding a complementary treatment. Managing your stress through relaxation techniques will also help.
