<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I have recently undergone angioplasty and blood pressure was 13080 after operation. I am continuing pressure medication OLMEZEST H40 and NEBICARD SM but after one month my pressure is around 15090. I have had hypertension for last ten years. Do I increase dose of blood pressure reducing medicine ?  <response>: Hello and thank you for using Chat Doctor. I carefully read your question and I understand your concern. I will try to explain and give you my opinion. We talk about hypertension if we have mean values that exceeds 14090 mmHg. It is normal to have higher blood pressure values after a physical or an emotional stress, so it is important to judge on mean day and night values. As you explain, you are diagnosed with ischemic heart disease, and you have done angioplasty. For this reason your blood pressures should be maintained under 14090 mmHg. You mention that your mean values are over 14090 mmHg, so my opinion as a cardiologist is that you should do changes in your medications. We have two strategies : the first one is to increase the existing doses or to add another antihypertensive medication. You didnt mention the actual dose of Medicare. Its maximal dosage might go up to 10 mg daily, but it is important to know your age and your heart frequency and I recommend consulting it with your cardiologist. Hope I was helpful. Wish you good health. Best Regards.
