Thank you for asking
I read your question and i understand your concern. 100 mg losartan and 10 mg amlodipine and still high blood pressure readings may be influenced by your recent travelling. Just keep an eye on your blood pressure, reduce salt intake if a problem, continue taking blood pressure medications, and if still high third anti hypertensive or another combination may be tried for bringing it all down.
I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.
