What Causes High BP While On Amlodipine?

I have been instructed to take amlodipine besylate after lunch as I have had very high bp levels. I take other medications but continue to have high readings part of the time and low at others. I have been diagnosed as having labile bp. I have eaten lunch but at this time my pressure is 106 over 46. Should I still take my medication now?

As per your history, no need to take tablet now.

Kindly do blood pressure monitoring. You may require dose reduction after consultation.
