Hi,
Thank you for posting your query in healthcaremagic.com
This is Dr. Swarnava dattagupta answering your query.

I understand your concern.
Well, generally when first diagnosed with high blood pressure, doctors start with any of ACE-I/ARBs, beta blockers, CCBs or diuretics.
I would suggest telmisartan 40 in the morning and amlodipine 5/10 at night. Your other medications can continue alongwith.
But it is better to see a cardiologist and get his/her advice. He/she will be able to prescribe you the drugs also.


Hope i have answered your question.
If you have any further questions i will be happy to help.
Regards
