I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Since you are 90 years old , walking or exercises as a part of management of the hypertension of 170/90 can not be the case.
Hence the following can help you:
Changed medication to Olmezest in place of Ramipril can help to lower the blood pressure to normal range.
Also needed is to restrict your common salt.
