How Can Shooting High Blood Pressure Be Treated?
Hello Doctor, I have had quite high blood pressure for about 1-1/2 weeks and I take 1 Coversyl (4mg) in the morning, however, I notice around 6-7pm my pressure starts shooting up again (around 150/88-89) and according to previous days this pattern keeps getting higher to around 189/100 etc. Is it safe or effective for me to take 1 more pill around 8pm - I have been doing this. Thankyou Penny

Hi,
you can certainly take 4 mg twice a day, however you should get your renal function test done.
The better option would be Telma AM 40/5 mg once a day, which i would have prescribed in my clinic.
Also consume low salt diet and regular exercises.
get your lipid profile and sugars tested once. if you have further queries you can get back.
