High blood pressure & chest discomfort
Myself,55 year old, suffered from coronary artery disease & undergone angiography last year. I am having amlodipine 5mg ,ecosprin & thyroxine daily . These days I have slight discomfort in my chest sometimes. Also, some days my blood pressure gets as high as 149/99 & my body starts slightly shaking. Should I take 1more amlodipine to lower BP? Please let me know what can I do at the very moment when my BP is that high as I am taking medicines daily but still sometimes BP gets that high for no apparent reason. Help.
