"A blood pressure reading of 168/102 mmHg while on dual therapy (Amlodipine + Telmisartan) is classified as Uncontrolled Hypertension. The fact that your BP remains high despite medication, combined with symptoms like headache and head spinning (vertigo), is a concern. This could indicate 'Resistant Hypertension' or 'Secondary Hypertension,' where an underlying issue—like kidney dysfunction, a salt-heavy diet, or high stress—is preventing the medicine from working effectively."
