most likely your doctor have given you a suboptimal dose of the medicine i.e a dose lower then the prescibed dose to maintain its level for 24hours..every medicine when taken reaches to its peak level after some time ....and after that our body starts clearing that drug ...so a dose is prescribed in such a way that a particular level is maintained for 24hours to avoid fluctuation of bp.
as you have not written about your prescribed medicines i would recoomend you
tab losar h once daily in moring
tablet amlodipine 5mg in evening
monitor your bp every three days
both the drugs are first line drugs used today
doses will be adjusted after 7days
thank you
