While you are already on a combination of telmisartan and amlodipine, your blood pressure remains elevated. Since you are taking this twice daily, simply increasing the dose may not be the best approach. Your doctor might consider adding a third medication, such as a low-dose diuretic, to help bring your numbers down safely. For your high cholesterol, diet alone is sometimes insufficient, and adding a cholesterol-lowering medication like a statin is often recommended. Please do not worry, but do schedule an appointment with your doctor soon. They can safely adjust your regimen and ensure your cardiovascular health is well-protected.
