I'm currently taking Inbloc 5mg twice a day since 2014 for my high BP and haven't been given an end date for it. I'm wondering if there's any way I can manage my high blood pressure without relying on medication like this forever. Also, I'm curious if I can switch to another medication like Nelovin Forte 5mg, C UDP, or Cilday 5mg instead of Inbloc. What are your thoughts?

yes C UDP can be used for hypertension. it is a calcium channel blocker

I'm a bit worried after getting some chest pain, and my doctor did a 2D Echo test and now suggests an angiogram. I'm really concerned if an angioplasty is absolutely necessary after that? Could you help me understand if the angioplasty is always needed after an angiogram or if there are situations where it's not required?

it is not necessary to undergo angioplasty compulsorily after angiogram ,if some defect is found then angioplsty is needed
