Hello,
Thanks for the query.
I have read your query and understand your concern about it.
It really becomes a problem controlling your blood pressure sometimes.
Your BP tends to either go down or go up with change of dose or medicine,but if you do it patiently and gradually,you can achieve the target.
As per your query,I gather that you are still taking BISOPROLOL and your BP is still not controlled.
Instead of taking coversyl plus ( PERINDOPRIL with INDAPAMIDE ) you should take only plain coversyl ( PERINOPRIL ) and see the response.
If BP not controlled,you can either increase the dose of perindopril or take coversyl plus.
Well,the best would be to consult your doctor,discuss with him and do it under his guidance.
My main point is to add one medication at a time and see the response in next 10-14 days and then add other,if required.
I hope it helps,however you may revert to me for any further query.
Best of luck
Thanks
