Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Continuous Blood pressure reading of 180/100 is considered very high especially in post MI (myocardial infarction) patients.
So you should definitely consult your doctor and start additional antihypertensive drug like amlodipine or telmisartan or centrally acting (clonodine).
Along with additional antihypertensive drugs, you should also follow these.
1. Strict salt restrictions in diet.
2. Avoid oily and fatty food.
3. Avoid stress and tension if you are having.
4. Take sound sleep of 6-8 hours.
5. Do walking and light exercise.
Don't worry, your blood pressure will be controlled by all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
