Hello, My Name Is XXXXXXX And My Pressure Has Been

My name is XXXXXXX and my pressure has been up all day. I had a headache, but it has eased up a lot. My pressure was 176 over 98 around 9:00 pm. I am currently taking Ramipril 5MG once a day, which is in the morning. Please tell me what I can take or do to get my pressure down.
You can take telmisartan.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
I am Dr Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist, and would try my best to help you.
I have noted your clinical details. Your BP is high. You should take telmisartan to lower your BP. In my patients, I usually advise them to take telmisartan 40 mg once daily at night. You can continue your usual ramipril 5 mg in mornings.
Keep a record of your BP, and the target BP should be 130/80 mmHg.
I sincerely hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
Dr Sudhir Kumar MD (Internal Medicine), DM (Neurology) XXXXXXX Consultant Neurologist
