Should I change my blood pressure medication because my blood pressure is 140/105 while taking Cilacar T 40/10, and I am experiencing headaches, swelling in both feet in the morning, and a uric acid level of 7.2?
A reading of 140/105 mmHg suggests your current medication, Cilacar T (telmisartan and cilnidipine), is not fully controlling your blood pressure, which might be causing your headaches. Additionally, morning foot swelling can sometimes be a side effect of calcium channel blockers like cilnidipine, and your uric acid is slightly elevated. Please do not change your medication on your own. These symptoms are very manageable, but I highly recommend consulting your doctor. They can safely adjust your therapy to bring your blood pressure into a healthier range and help relieve the swelling and headaches.
