I have been experiencing very high blood pressure for the past two years. My last reading was 137/120 mmHg, with a pulse rate of 104 bpm. I have been taking Tazloc-40 Tablet daily for the last two years, but my blood pressure remains elevated. What should I do, and could I get a second opinion regarding my management?
Your blood pressure is still very high despite taking Tazloc-40 mg (Telmisartan) daily, indicating uncontrolled hypertension. You should consult a cardiologist, as your treatment may need adjustment, either by increasing the dose, adding a second antihypertensive agent, or switching to a combination therapy. Given the lack of response to your current regimen, seeking a second opinion is reasonable and can help review your diagnosis, check for secondary causes, and optimize your treatment plan.
