High blood pressure medication
Hi Dr,
Just confused so I am asking your suggestions.
I was having BP of 160/90 two years ago so Dr put me on Amlong 5 MG.
6 months ago after monitoring my BP, it was 120/80 to 140/90 sometimes so the other Dr stopped amlong.
Now I went for regular check up, BP is 140/80 so Dr prescribed Telvas 20mg.. my Ecg, lipid is normal.
Dr said to take telvas 20 MG since my weight is 120kg... he said to reduce weight.. then review.. is it OK? Please guide..
