Hi,
You seem to be having resistant hypertension. You need to exclude any renal cause (renovascular or renoparenchymal) of hypertension first. For this urinalysis, renal function tests (BUN, serum creatinine, serum electrolytes) and USG Abdomen especially KUB area & Pelvis are needed.
To increase the dose of amlodipine/amloguard may be an option.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
