Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that every change in the anti-hypertensive therapy needs a certain period of time (which goes up to a week) to show its effect and achieve a new balance in your blood pressure.
Coveram is a composite drug, formed by perindopril (which is an ACE inhibitor) and amlodipine (which is a calcium channel blocker).
This is a really effective combination of drugs in helping manage values of blood pressure like yours.
Anyway, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure frequent times during the day in the next days. If after a week your blood pressure values are still above 140/85 mmHg, I recommend reconsulting with your attending physician and discussing the possibility of making further changes to your anti-hypertensive therapy (add on other drugs like hydroclorothyazide, etc.), to have a better control of your blood pressure.
I would also recommend some lifestyle modifications to help you reduce your blood pressure naturally:
- reduce salt and caffeine intake in your diet
- perform a lot of physical activity
- try to lose some pounds if you are overweight.
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Kind regards,
Dr. Iliri
