Should I Increase My BP Medication If My BP Is Rising?

I am currently on Lexapro, Tricor, Lisinopril, Prylosec and Norco. Doctor gave me Robaxin two days ago. I took a couple of Aleve yesterday afternoon and my blood pressure spiked. Pharmacist said likely the aleve caused it. My blood pressure is starting to go up as I type. This time no aleve. Do I need to increase my blood pressure meds?

hi you are taking antidepressent drug(loxapro) along with lipid decreasing drug like tricor.There is no need of taking so many medication.
You just start with one drug to control blood presurre like enalapril or amlodipine.No need of taking tricor except if lipid level high.
Along with antihypertensive drug change your life style and diet habit also.
Avoid salty diet.Avoid alcohol.Take more water.Eat more fruits.Take green leafy veg.Loose weight.Do regular exercise.
