Thanks for contacting HCM. Dear Munir please understand BP is a multifactorial disease. it has many factors contributing to it like age, sex-male or female, family history, amount of salt intake, stress, life style- sedentary or active, smoking, presence or absence of exercise, obesity , eating habits etc. Your doctor has prescribed correct dose and correct medication as per your BP readings. Please make adjustments in your life style as per above risk factors and you will benefit. Regards
