Cardiologist,  's  Response
Hello,

That further changes are needed to your therapy. In this regard, I would suggest increasing the dose of CTD to 25mg daily and add moxonidine 0.4 one tab in the evening.

I would also recommend performing some blood lab tests in order to investigate the possible causes underlying high blood pressure values:

-complete blood count, PCR, ESR for inflammation
- thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction
- blood electrolytes for possible imbalance
- kidney and liver function tests.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
