1) BP medications require titration according to response that your body gives, so if despite taking amlodepine 5 mg once daily, you need a dose adjustment or a combination medication for better BP control in addition to lifestyle changes that you should follow for the rest of your life. 2) It will be better if you consult a cardiologist locally and follow up with them in regard to treatment as it will ensure proper medication, titration as well as measurement. 3) For lifestyle changes - exercise daily like brisk walking for 40 mins, quit smoking and drinking, take a detailed diet consult for a DASH diet, avoid consumption of high salty foods like chips, namkeens, fried or junk food and pickles etc and if you are overweight try to reduce your weight using diet and exercise.
