Hello doctor,
My mother takes Micardis blood pressure medicine 40mg every morning. Tonight, my mother's blood pressure increased by 170. So the doctor asked me how to control my high blood pressure? Do I need to give her another blood pressure pill? My mother was born in 1949. Please advise, thank you doctor.
