Hello, Thanks for writing to Health Care magic, I am Dr , Muhammad Ahmad , I have read your question closely, I understand your concern and will be helping you with your health related problem. A blood pressure reading of 140/95 is border line reading if persistent, you should be having lesser blood pressure, specially when on medication. There is no best medication for blood pressure , blood pressure medication is selected person to person, but ace inhibitors, diuretics and calcium channel blockers are most recommended around the world. A doctor considers many things like age , diabetes status, highest and lowest readings of blood pressure, and race etc to select the best blood pressure medication for you. My advice for you is: 1) First of all change your life style. 2) Use less salt and fat. 3) Stay physically active. 4) Avoid Coffee caffeine, smoking (what ever is relevant). 5) Lose 10kg weight to be in good range 6) Monitor your blood pressure regularly if it stays consistently above 150/90 for a week instead of all the life style modifications ,and medications, do visit your doctor with that record to get the medication adjusted. You can use ditide for long time but it s advised to discuss it with your cardiologist first. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards. Dr.Muhammad Ahmad
