Is BP Of 140/90 A Cause For Concern?

I am 69 yrs old, not overweight, and a non-smoker. I am currently taking 35 mgs Lisinopril and 5 mgs amlodipine. My BP has crept back above 140/90. Should I increase dosages of these two meds, or would a third medication work in conjunction with these two? Bill Hearn

Hi,

Nothing to worry about, in long run sometimes the anti-hypertensive drugs due to long period of consumption loose their effects so a different anti-hypertensive will do the job. Consult your physician for changing the drug.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Mohd Awais Ilyas
