What Causes Constant Elevation In BP In Spite Of Being On Medications?

Taking Valsartin HCTZ 12.5 - 1 x day, Metoprolol EXT REl 75 MG 1x per day and Amlodipine 10 MG 1x per day. My blood pressure is constantly 156/95. Is there a way of getting this down? I am 6.0 and 346 lbs large bone ex athlete. 58 years old. I have an Thoracic Aortic Anurisim measured 4.2 cm and my cardiologist wants to look at it again in 6 mo.
