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.

I've been managing high blood pressure for a while now and I keep up with my daily exercise routine, which includes walking about 4.5 km and jogging 1.5 km. I'm wondering if it's safe to continue jogging with my high BP. Can jogging be risky for someone in my condition, or is there a safe way to incorporate it into my fitness routine?

It is generally safe to jog with high blood pressure, but it is important to monitor your blood pressure regularly and consult with your doctor before starting any new exercise routine. It is recommended to start with low to moderate intensity exercises and gradually increase the intensity as tolerated. Additionally, make sure to stay hydrated and listen to your body for any signs of discomfort. If you experience any dizziness, chest pain, or severe shortness of breath, stop exercising immediately and seek medical attention.
