Hello Thanks for posting here. I have gone through your description. Your BP seems to be persistentlu higher despite taking amlodipine daily. Verapamil is a stronger blood control medication than amlodipine. But one of its effects is lowering the heart rate, which in your case was lowered too much hence stopped.. The amlodipine you are taking is not enough to control your BP and hence it must be changed. If you were my patient, I would start you on tablet Telma AM which is a combination of telmisartan plus amlodipine which would be an ideal combination for you. It does not lower the heart rate and has beneficial effects on the kidney and heart. The brand name telma AM may change from country to country, but telmisartan 40 mg plus amlodipine 5 mg combinations are available worldwide. You can take one tablet of Telma AM in the morning. It will definitely help get your pressure under control. If despite this your blood pressure remains high (after two weeks of starting Telma AM) you must undergo a 24 hour ambulatory BP monitoring which records your BP every 15-20 mins while you go around your daily routine activities. It gives us an idea of your pressure control, effect of medications, time of day when pressure is high and also we can correlate high blood pressure with the activity you were doing at that time. So to proceed further, please take the telmisartan amlodipine combination i have adviced for two weeks and then follow up. Wishing you good health. Regards
