Hi
Welcome to healthcare magic.
Your previous reading of blood pressure was in hypertension range. Now the BP reading is good. Imdur is used for angina symptoms in cardiac patients but it is not an ideal antihypertensive medicine.
You should consult your physician before changing your treatment and you should not self medicate randomly. Sometimes patient harm themselves in such pursuits.
I hope the advise will guide you through.
Take care.
