Hello doctor, My age is 43. My weight is 76 kg and height is 170 cm. I was an athlete and discontinued sports around 10 years back. I am an ecology and environment consultant by profession. I was diagnosed with hypertension six years back and was taking medicine last year. My BP reached a highest level of 140/100 mmHg. Thrice I had a complete cardio checkup and was normal all the times. My cholesterol levels were high. Initially, I was taking Olmezest 10 mg and Rozat 10 mg, later I was switched to Olmezest 40 mg and Rozat 10 mg. Last year, when my BP was normal within 120/85 mmHg and the doctor asked to stop the medicine for a month. As my BP was normal within 120/85 mmHg, I stopped taking medicine for almost one and half years. But, for the last three days, I have mild discomfort. When I checked, my BP was 140/100 mmHg. My BP was high in the evening hours and otherwise, it was 10 points less both in diastolic and systolic. I did not visit any doctor or took any test yet. Kindly advise me. Should I continue the medicine or change? What could be the reason for a rise in BP? What test should I perform?
