What should I do if my blood pressure keeps going up and down, and is still high at 140/85 even after I increased my daily dose of Telma 20 from half a tablet back to a full tablet?
Please be reassured that a reading of 140/85, while slightly elevated, is not an immediate emergency. When you change your dose of Telma (telmisartan) back to a full 20 mg tablet, it can take one to two weeks for your body to stabilize and for the medication to show its full effect. Please avoid making any further adjustments to your dose on your own. Keep a daily log of your blood pressure readings and share them with your doctor so they can safely guide your treatment plan and ensure your pressure stays consistently managed.
