My blood pressure is 160/100 yesterday afternoon. Doctor prescribed losartan 50 mg and simvastatin 20 mg since I have high cholesterol. This day, I done again my bp this morning and it still high. 150/90. Then, at lunch break still high. 160/100, doctor give me sublingual captopril and after 1 hr no improvement. So, they refer me to the internist. And the internist prescribed me amlodipine 10mb for 10 days once a day together with simvastatin 20 mg. I have no signs or symptoms of hypertension. I'm afraid. Also is there an interaction with the two med? amlodipine and simvastatin to take together? Pls help.

Have patience and keep watching your bp. Take the medicines as prescribed by your doctor. Kindly read about healthy lifestyle changes and adapt the good habits in your daily life. You can also learn yoga (including pranayam and meditation) which can learnt from an expert to gain maximum benefit. You can add homeopathy which is safe and gentle and can help harmonize all systems of the body. You can contact me for a private consultation.
