Hello dear
I understand your concern
160/100 blood pressure is high and require proper treatment under advise of MD physician.
You can ask for increase dose and frequency of lercanidipine.
If blood pressure will not decrease then some other drugs should be added
like metaprolol, losartan
Continue your active life style
Hope this may help you
Best regards
Dr. Sagar
