A blood pressure of 150/90 is a good blood pressure. It is not obviously not as good as 120/80. I would recommend returning to your prescribing physicians office to discuss options with him. I would also make a log of your blood pressure's over the month in the meantime. You are on two very good blood-pressure medications sorry it is unusual that your blood pressure continues to be elevated. You may need to get some routine screening bloodwork to make sure there is no underlying disease causing your blood pressure to be up. You may also want to try to restrict yourself intake. You can try to increase your fruits, vegetables, and whole grains in your diet also. You may also want to get your cholesterol check while you're at your primary care physician.
