HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern some time single drug may not controlled the blood pressure and second molecule need to be added or some new drug would be necessary but for all of this you have to see the physician because this may need some information of age, gender, and clinical examination and tests, this is nothing to worry, hope this information helps, take care.
