I am a 54-year-old woman with high blood pressure around 170 by 80, and sometimes it rises to 210 by 95 in the evening. I was taking Amlodac 5 and Minipress XL, but due to leg swelling, my doctor changed it to Telsartan 80 at night, and my blood pressure is still high. What should I do to control my blood pressure?

Have a query?
