<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I took 5 mg amlodipine on Tuesday morning along with my beta blocker Bystolic all doctor approved. Early Wednesday morning 2am, my blood pressure rose to 213117 and I felt horrible. I got up and had some juice - got pressure down to 209 but I was up all night. My doctor wants to switch me to another med and I am afraid. I have taken the beta blocker for years with no problem I have asthma . my regular pressure is around 152  <response>: Hello there I have read through your question and can understand your concern. You had an episode of hypertensive urgency. Sometimes it can lead to serious end organ damage. It seems Amlodipine and B blocker are unable to control your blood pressure. I would suggest you to track your BP for one week and if it remains on the higher side that is above 14090 it is preferable to switch to another Chat Doctor. Diuretics and aldosterone antagonist s can be substituted. I hope that answers your question. If you have any further questions please feel free to write. Thank you for choosing Chat Doctor.
