Please do not stop antihypertensive medications until and unless you have been clearly informed to do so.
Amlodipine in your combination might have caused the increase in heart beat.
I would have considered one laboratory investigation of serum creatinine. If the investigation turns out to be normal, I would have suggested my patient to continue on Telista 40mg without amlodipine.
I would have also advised regular blood pressure monitoring, physical exercise, dietary modifications for the control of hypertension. Hope this helps. Thanks.
