What should we do if my mother has been taking Telmikind 40 mg once daily for five months, but her blood pressure is high at 174/105 and still rises to 145/90 in the evening, making her feel uncomfortable?
A reading of 174/105 mmHg, along with evening rises to 145/90 mmHg, suggests her current dose of Telmikind (telmisartan) 40 mg may need adjustment. Please consult her doctor promptly to share these readings. They may consider increasing her telmisartan dose, adjusting the timing, or adding a complementary generic medication to safely stabilize her blood pressure throughout the day. To help her feel more comfortable now, keep her in a calm, restful environment, and seek immediate medical attention if she experiences severe chest pain, shortness of breath, or sudden dizziness.
