Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

This pressure is still high...
A systolic (upper figure) of 130 [may be up to 140] / a diastolic (lower figure) of 80 [may be up to 90] should be the goal...

You should add another drug –
- Calcium Channel Blocker (CCB) like Amlodipine, clinidipine and so on
- or a diuretic like thiazide, indapamide and so on...

Discuss with your doctor and get appropriate prescription..

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
