Hello There
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that 160/100 is high bp and you require a proper treatment, kindly switch to telmasarten and monitor your blood pressure if it stays under 140/90 then it is fine otherwise you have to one more anti hypertensive drug .
Hopefully this information will guide you properly.
Kind Regards
Dr Bhanu Partap
