Hello,

Please note that light exercise as walking decrease blood pressure in people who were sedentary already.

As your father is already exercising and amlodipine is not working, then I will recommend adding ramipril to amlodipine.

I will also suggest decreasing salt, alcohol, coffee , tea, energy drinks.

Plenty of sleep advised. Most important is kidney function tests as blood urea, serum creatinine, serum uric acid, etc. Keep his blood pressure below 140 /90 mm Hg.

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

Take care

Regards,
