140/90 BP even after taking daily meds

Question

Asked for Male, 35 Years

I first realised about my high BP about 2 years ago when I visited family doctor and he put me on Telma 40. I have been taking it since then, however I miss taking it at the same time everyday. Have not felt any issues as such as I stopped monitoring BP. I for a change monitored my BP couple of days ago and it showed around 140/90 and is within 135/85 to 145/90 range. What could be the issue even when I'm taking Telma 40? Realised I haven't been living an active lifestyle over couple of months or so. But, could that be such a big reason to have 140/90 BP even after taking BP meds (Telma 40)?

It just means that telma 40 is not sufficient. You need dose modification
