Hi, thanks for your question. I have read it and understand your concern.

Its good that you are attending a gym. Please keep doing that and reduce salt intake and abstain from unhealthy food such as junks, lots of sweets, etc. All of this will help control your BP.

If my patient was taking Eziday 25mg and their BP was still higher than normal, I would increase the dose to 50mg as per the guidelines. Therefore, I would recommend that you see your doctor who will most probably increase the dose for you or switch to another BP lowering medication as per your needs.

Hope this helps and please do not hesitate to ask if things are not clear.
