Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Many a times if BP is not lowering at high dose of a single drug, a combination therapy is advised. Cause/ associated condition of raised BP must be looked for like kidney status, diabetes, ECG, if needed echocardiography....
Better meet your general physician to revise your medication.
If you are stable at certain inhaled medication for COPD continue do with that...
Best wishes
