Hi Doctor, I am of 55 yrs. old. I was diagnosed olmezest AM some 3 yrs. back. After having one tab in every morning my BP always stands in 140/90. The doctor accept that as normal for me.My question is about the side effect of the medicine & can I lowered my BP more to the normal?
Hi and thank you for using Healthcare magic. From the information provided by you, I got TU understand that you have a high blood pressure, and you are using Oldest AM to control it. Oldest AM is a combination of two basic medications' losartan (angiotensin receptor blocker) and amlodipine (calcium channel blocker). There are little and rare side effects from both medications, dizziness, headache, swelling of legs, skin rash and so. In my opinion, your BP of 140/90 MMH is not a good value for a 55-year-old. You should try adding a diuretic to your treatment, HY Chat Doctor.  You should aim your BP to be 120/80 to 130/85mmHg. Feel free to contact me for further explanations. Goodbye
