Hello and welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

You should take tab amlodipine regularly as blood pressure should be kept under control and below 140/90 mm Hg ..For the control of blood pressure you should control smoking and avoid salty fried foods and go for daily morning or evening walk.

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