Hi
Normal range of blood pressure is between 90/60 to 140/90, anything above or below is is abnormal.
Many factors can affect blood pressure, including:
1) The amount of water and salt you have in your body
2) The condition of your kidneys, nervous system, or blood vessels
3) Your hormone levels
You are more likely to be told your blood pressure is too high as you get older. This is because your blood vessels become stiffer as you age. When that happens, your blood pressure goes up. High blood pressure increases your chance of having a stroke, heart attack, heart failure, kidney disease, or early death.
I read your query, by the information i have in hand my advice to you would be
1) Keep a BP daily record for at least one week
2) Basic tests should be one to rule out cardiac issues
3) unless any recent evaluation has been done I would advice these test
ECG
ECHO
Lipid Profile
TSH
KFT
You have not written the dosage of the medications you are taking but still I will advise you to take the blood pressure medications in the morning and check your blood pressure in the evening if your blood pressure is still higher than 140 then you can take another tablet of amlodipine
Get back to me with a detailed history and old / new records for a better individualized advice.
