Hi,

We will try to help you in best way possible. First of all it's sad to know what you had been going through lately. Based on the history you have shared, the reading of iOS pressure isn't that high at the moment with current regimen however adding diuretic like thiazide diruretic can be of help or indapamide can be another option. Also salt restriction and exercise can be also helpful to control the readings.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Saddiq Ulabidin,
