I am a 54-year-old woman with high blood pressure around 170 by 80, and sometimes it rises to 210 by 95 in the evening. I was taking Amlodac 5 and Minipress XL, but due to leg swelling, my doctor changed it to Telsartan 80 at night, and my blood pressure is still high. What should I do to control my blood pressure?
Blood pressure readings this high need proper medical review and adjustment of treatment. Take the medicine regularly at the same time, and reduce salt intake, fried foods, and stress in daily life. Maintain a healthy weight and include light physical activity if your doctor allows. Consult your doctor soon to reassess the medicines and ensure your blood pressure is controlled safely.
