Brief Answer:
Further Clinical evaluation necessary...
Detailed Answer:
Hello and Welcome to 'Ask A Doctor' service,
I've gone through your query and understood your concern.
Well, the sudden increase in blood pressure needs to be further checked, preferably by your doctor in the clinic, and some serial blood pressure recording at a routine interval in sitting, lying down position as well as standing position needed to be done...Along with this, a few routine investigations, i.e. CBC, KFT, Electrolytes, 12 lead ECG and Chest X-ray should be done to look into it further...
Based on the findings, your doctor may adjust the dosage of the Olmighty tablet or reintroduce another antihypertensive medication as well...
As of now, you may take one more 20mg dose of Tab Olmighty, and inform your doctor as well for further management...Take a strictly salt-restricted diet and no fried/junk/processed foods...
Take Care
Kind Regards
