Hello,
You have to take these medicines for at least a week or ten days before changing it. Get your Ambulatory blood pressure done in the meantime. You should also get a Renal Angiogram done to find the cause of your labile hypertension.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
