Brief Answer:
Your BP is slightly elevated and it shouldn't be considered stable...
Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Your BP is slightly elevated and it shouldn't be considered stable ( it should be lowered below 140 mmHg).
If you were my patient I would recommend to:
- reduce sodium intake
- reduce alcohol consumption
- increase physical activity
If these measures aren't good enough to lower the BP you should discuss with your doctor to increase the dose of Cozaar.
Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
