A blood pressure (BP) of 155 mmHg systolic while you are already taking Amlokind AT (Amlodipine + Atenolol) suggests that your current regimen may not be fully controlling your BP. This can happen even with correct medications if the dose isn’t sufficient or if additional therapy is needed.
At your current reading, this is mild–moderate hypertension, and your treatment may need adjustment or optimization rather than stopping Amlokind AT.
Next Steps
1. Recheck BP at Home:
• Sit quietly for 5 minutes
• Take 2–3 readings, 5 minutes apart
• Use an accurate cuff-size device
2. Review Current Dose:
• Amlokind AT contains Amlodipine (calcium-channel blocker) and Atenolol (beta-blocker)
• You may need one or more of the following adjustments after physician review:
• Increase Amlodipine dose
• Switch Atenolol to a different agent
• Add a third antihypertensive (e.g., ACE inhibitor/ARB or diuretic)
3. Assess Risk Factors:
• Check:
• Fasting glucose/HbA1c
• Kidney function
• Lipid profile
• ECG if not done recently
• Electrolytes
4. Doctor Consultation:
A doctor should evaluate whether:
• The dose needs optimization
• A different combination is more effective
• Additional medicines are needed
Health Tips
•Lifestyle factors that help BP control:
• Daily brisk walking 30–45 minutes
• Reduce salt intake (
