I think you should believe in your doctor and consult with him only for any doubt you have regarding his treatment plan.

Nothing to be worried about for a short duration course of cephalexin.

Cefalexin along with concor, does cause increase in levels of the anti hypertensive medicine in ur blood, so you might need to lower the dose of tab concor for a brief duration, to maintain optimum blood pressure levels.
And cephalexin has been prescribed to treat an infection, it’s safer to take it at a therapeutic dose as prescribed by your physician.
