I have a long history of treated hypertension but recently my blood pressures have been high in the morning (150/100) but better as the day goes on (122/80). I take Lisinopril 20 mg and Atenolol 25 mg in the morning. Should I worry about this? Does it make any sense to divide the dose and take some medicine at night?
Hello, You spaced out medicine, like take lisinopril in D morning and atenolol in the evening. Try to avoid to stress.  You should have a healthy lifestyle like avoiding fatty, oily and high calorie diet. Have low salt diet and monitor blood pressure regularly. Regular exercises like brisk walking, jogging according your capacity at least 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. There shouldn't abdominal fat deposition or obesity. Get your lipid profile and sugars tested once.  If doesn't help then needs to increase dose of atenolol.
