Hi,I am Dr. Prabhakar Koregol (Cardiologist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Hi, I am a hypertensive who has been on amlogard 5 mg bd and Xirtam 20 od . The last month was very stressful for me . For the last 5days my BP is around 150/100. I was asked to increase Xirtam to 40 mg. Now I don't have any headache ,but still my BP is elevated. What do I do?
Do continue with xirtam 40 od with amlogard 5 bd for time being, both of the meds have reached it'd optimum levels. However try diverting your stress to other useful direction, as adding meds is not the solution. However the BP will be normalise withen a week of the increase in dose. Tc Any further clarification you may mail on Priyankmody86@gmail.com Regards
