B.P high even after Medication
I am 56 years old. I am suffering from hypertension since last 12 years. I am borderline diabetic but my blood sugar is very well controlled. I am taking Telmisartan-H once daily for bp. But since few days my bp is high in the range 160/90 to 170/100. I consulted my physician and he increased dose of the medicine by adding half tablet at night. But my bp is still high 150/85. It some times shoot to 165/93. All the test of kidney came normal. Please suggest better medicine for bp control.

There is no single medicine that can be called as best. The medicines need to be chosen based on various factors. You need to consult a doctor along with details of current medication.
