Hello,Thanks for using Healthcaremagic. i had gone through the information poasted but the medications that you have written are not for blood pressure management.
let me explain about each drug.
nexpro rd is combination of esmoprazole with domperidone that is used for GERD, epigastric burning sensation after eating spicy foods, peptic ulcer disease.
UNICONTIN E is deriphyllin
is used for Asthma or COPD which may help to decrease inflammation in airways and mild relaxation of smooth muscle.
INFINAIR/ MTNL is a combination of mentelukast with levocetrizine
is also used in Asthma or COPD to decrease infllamation in airways, can also be used for cold and allergies.
Levoday is levofloxacin which is an antibiotic.
you did not mention your age and whether you have hypertension or this is the first recording found to be high.
but either way you need to start life style modifications like

Weight reduction: Maintain normal body weight ( BMI 18.5 to 24.9 kg/m2) this can reduceBP by 5 to 20 mm hg per 10kg weight loss.
Adopt DASH eating plan : (DASH- Dietary Approach To Stop Hypertension) consists of fruits, vegetables, legumes, low fat diary products with reduced saturated and total fat.This can reduce BP by 8 to 14 mm Hg
Dietary sodium Restriction: Reduce dietary sodium intake to no more than 100meq/day(2.4 gm sodium or 6 gm of sodium chloride). This can reduce BP by 2 to 8 mm Hg.
Physical activity: Engage in regular aerobic physical activity such as brisk walking (at least 30 min per day, most days of the week). This can reduce BP by 4 to 9 mm Hg
Moderation of alcohol: Limit consumption of alcohol to no more than 2 drinks per day in most men and no more than 1 drink in women and lighter weight persons. This can reduce BP by 2 to 4 mm Hg.
stop smokinf if you have habit of. kindly consult another physician and discuss your problems in detail.
hope you find this useful..
