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 got triglycerides at 290, and I'm currently on Rosave F 10 every day. Any idea how long it might take to get down to normal levels?

The medication you are taking, Rosave F 10, contains Rosuvastatin 10mg. It is commonly used to lower cholesterol levels, including triglycerides. On average, it may take several weeks to a few months to see a significant decrease in triglyceride levels. However, individual responses to medication can vary. It is important to continue taking the medication as prescribed by your healthcare provider and monitor your triglyceride levels regularly.
