A blood pressure of 140/85 mmHg is slightly above the ideal target of 120/80 mmHg, but it does not mean you are in immediate danger of a heart attack. While there is no need to panic, keeping your blood pressure elevated over time can increase long-term cardiovascular risks. Your current daily dose of Telmis 40 (40 mg telmisartan) is a standard starting dose. Your doctor may consider adjusting your dosage, adding another medication, or recommending lifestyle changes to help you safely reach your target. Please consult your healthcare provider to review your treatment plan; do not change your medication dose on your own.

My blood pressure is fluctuating and sometimes goes very high despite taking my medication. Since I had an angiography last month, what should I do, and do I need to change my blood pressure medicine?

It is not uncommon to experience some blood pressure fluctuations after a recent angiography, but persistent high readings require professional evaluation. Please do not alter or stop your blood pressure medication on your own, as this can be unsafe. I recommend keeping a daily log of your blood pressure readings taken at the same times each day. Contact your cardiologist or doctor promptly to share this log; they can safely decide if you need a dosage adjustment or a different class of medication. If your high blood pressure is accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headaches, please seek immediate medical attention.
