What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure Despite Taking Telmisartan?
My blood pressure is 164 over 77. I started on 20 mg of Telisartan yesterday after I went to a clinic and they found it was 178 over 100. I took my second dose of the drug 3 hours ago. Should I go to the ER or just monitor it for the next couple of days to see if it continues to go down?

Hello,
* The Telmisartan is best drug controlling blood pressure via angiotensin receptor blockage.
* The drug is slow acting and usually takes a period of 2-3 days to show up best clinical response.
Just wait for a couple of days, consume salt free diet and do regular exercises for best results.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
