Today I woke up wiy a dull throbbing headache & just took my BP to get a reading result of 155/80 & a pulse rate of 84. My bp is normally aroung 120 - 130/75-85 range. Is this normal for the transition of new medicathon?

Hi,
You are having a normal reaction to the changes in your therapy. I do recommend to monitor your blood pressure for 2 consecutive weeks and record the results.
The goal is to keep your BP under 130/80 mmHg. If the results you get are averagely higher than this goal, the dose of the medications you are taking should be increased.
Pass the results to your cardiologist and talk about this my suggestion.
Thank you.
