Persistent high readings mean the current dose is no longer sufficient. Increasing to Stamlo 5 mg is a reasonable and standard step to better control blood pressure and reduce long-term risks. Take it as advised, monitor BP regularly, and follow up with your doctor if readings remain high or side effects occur.
