Thanks for posting in HCM.
I understand your concern.
There are multiple causes of high blood pressure and they need to be investigated thoroughly before changing medications. I can help you understand the type of medications you are taking and how they are treating you. Mainly you will need to have about two medications for hypertension to be started now and then change it two weekly if it is uncontrolled.
Till then you can start taking increased amount of green tea daily, avoid alcohol or smoking etc, reduce your stress levels and get your fresh investigations done especially RFTs and share with me so that i can help you and also state the type of medicines you have used so far.
I hope you will understand the importance of medicines and investigations for me to decide for you. Get well soon and dont miss the medicines your doctor advised you until you are advised not to take.
