Suggest Treatment To Bring Down BP
Hi,I am a BP patient since last 10 yrs. Doctor prescribed me Rimipril 5mg once a day. In that BP is to be 128/85 and some times little more or less. But since last week my BP is shoot up up to 170/90. Doctor prescribed me Telma 80(Telmisartan 80) once a day. Although my BP is coming down to150/90 but still is not normal. Please advice me what should I do.
