150/100 is NOT good BP control. The medicines should be adjusted to keep BP below 135/85. Also, the reason why hemoglobin is low should be found out. Only if the reason is iron-deficiency will ferrous sulphate tablets help. If the cause of anemia is different, there is no benefit with taking iron supplements.
