renal artery doppler should be done to rule out the blockage of renal artery
if renal artery is normal
betaloc can be oncreased to 50mg twice daily and a diuretc like chlorthiazide can be added to lossrtan.
a group of medicines called nitrates could be added to current meds ,nitrates are venodiltor and reduces the blood pressure
45min of strenous exercise should be dine daily
add fibres to your diet
dont take excess butter or saturated fats
