“Blood pressure medication?”
I have high blood pressure. I'm on 10 mg of amlodipine and 2.5 of Rampiril but my blood pressure is still high. I feel sick, I'm just wondering if I could up the dose of Ramipril?

Ramipril can definitely be titrated upward incrementally until the BP is controlled or the maximum dose is reached. If the BP goal is still not achieved, then another BP medicine could be started or substituted. Of course, salt could be restricted and/or attempt at regular exercise and weight loss might be tried.
