Hello,
You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly thrice a day for one week then once or twice a week.
If bp is persistently more than 140/90 mmhg, then medicines need to be changed. Occasional readings above 140/90 is acceptable. If majority of readings are above 140 then better to shift on other medicine like telmisartan Amlodipine combination 40/5 mg once a day.
Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity atleast 30 min a day and 5 days a week. Lots of green leafy vegetables, fruits, fish once or twice a week, avoid meat. Avoid smoking and alcohol if any.
Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
