Hello,
I would explain that your current therapy does not seem to be very effective in controlling arterial hypertension.
For this reason, I would recommend increasing the doses or add new antihypertensive drugs to your therapy.
I would also recommend checking cortisol and aldosterone plasma levels for possible adrenal gland dysfunction.
You should discuss with your doctor on the above issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
