Dear Sir/ Madam
Thanks for writing to HCM.
For age of 68 years, the target BP is 150/90 mmHg. Hence the readings are within normal range. There is no need to increase the medication. You can further get it down by life style modifications like weight control, decrease salt intake, daily exercise, meditation etc.
Sincerely
Sukhvinder
