Hello,
I think you should not increase it but you should add one more antihypertensive medicine. You should be started on tab Amlodipine 5 mg once a day and if needed increase to 10 mg once a day.
You also have low salt diet, low fat diet. You have exercises after bp is controlled.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
