My blood pressure is still high at 163/86 even though I took Eritel CH 80 thirty minutes ago; is it safe for me to take Olmesar 20 now since I do not have any other blood pressure medicine?

I understand it can be worrying to see your blood pressure at 163/86, but please try to rest. Eritel CH 80 (telmisartan/chlorthalidone) takes about 1 to 2 hours to start working, so 30 minutes is too soon to see its full effect. Please do not take Olmesar 20 (olmesartan). Both medicines belong to the same drug class, and taking them together can cause a dangerous drop in blood pressure or strain your kidneys. For now, sit quietly, breathe deeply, and recheck your pressure in an hour. If you develop chest pain, shortness of breath, or a severe headache, please seek immediate medical care.
