Dear Mr XXXXXXX
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The systolic pressure (upper figure) is controlled well.
The diastolic (lower figure / 95) is a bit high -
You may increase the dose of Telmisartan - 40 mg twice daily
Continue Amlodipine 5 mg twice daily.
Tell us after about a week
Everything will be alright.
Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
