I've been having a blood pressure reading of 15090 for the past few days, and I'm taking diltiazem 60 mg three times a day. Im a bit worried and wondering what I should do next. Any advice?
Your blood pressure of 15090 is still elevated despite taking Diltiazem 60mg three times a day. I would recommend adding an additional medication to better control your blood pressure. You can consider adding Amlodipine 5mg once daily to further lower your blood pressure. However, it is important to consult with your healthcare provider before making any changes to your medication regimen.
