Hypertension medication

2017-04-25 16:32:13
Hello, I am 30 years old male and having hypertension medication for last 5 years. Currently I am having CTD C 12.5/10 once daily. My concern is, I am planning for a high altitude trek/trip around Leh,India (Avg height 3500-5500 m) after four months. Considering the generic AMS symptoms due to less oxygen in air, will this be a matter of concern ? Do I need to take any separate precaution or any previous planning ? NOTE: I have been to these altitudes before multiple times (last went 3 years back) and didn't face any issue. Advance thanks for any suggestions.
