Hello,

I passed carefully through your question and would explain that it is safe to leave the other drugs until am. Anyway, It is also important to closely monitor your blood pressure values in the next hours.

If your blood pressure values are high, going to the ER may be needed.

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

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
