Tension Headache-Change of Medicine
I am diagnosed with tension headache. I was taking concor 5 mg since 1.5 years and have been now asked to take MPROL 50mg morning and CUDP 10mg at night. I am worried as it seems to be very high dosage. My current blood pressure at home is 131/68 and when I visit at doctor clinic it shoots up.

Hi. If your BP on home recordings is near normal or atleast below 140/90 and shoots up only in doctors clinic you may have what is called 'White coat hypertension'
In that case monitor your BP over next one two weeks at home and maintain a dairy and see if values are with in limit
Alternatively you could do what is called ABPM (Ambulatory BP monitoring) on your existing medication which will clear the doubt whether you need dose increase or not.
