Brief Answer:
Add another or increase dose
Detailed Answer:
Dear friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic
The value is high, but not very high / not an emergency / but needs to be brought down
There are several classes of drugs and several drugs in each class
Drug and dose need to be tailored to the individual
Discuss with your Primary Care provider –
A second drug can be added – usually a diuretic like thiazide / or Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) like amlodipine
Or / The dose of Enalapril (Envas) may be increased
Most people need 2 or 3 drugs
Regular exercise / salt restricted diet / relaxation techniques are helpful in the long term
You might have already done ECG & ECHO / tested Electrolytes, Kidney function and Lipids… if not do now.
Take care
Good luck
