Hi just wondering if any one else has uncontrolled blood pressure even with cocktail of meds

I'm 27 healthy n of normal bmi i am on

Ramipril 10mg

Felodipine 20mg

Doxazosin 8mg

Bendroflumethiazide 2.5mg

Bisoprolol 5mg

My blood pressure has never been below 170 top and never been below 100 bottom my doctor and consultant at hospital have done every test to see if it caused by something but all came back clear apart from LHV on my heart

When asked what is next my doctor said there is nothing more he can do for me as the medication just doesn't bring it down

Mad any one else had same problem??

    Hi

    Have you been tested for renal artery stenosis?

    Also suggest you try swapping the Ramapril for 80mg Valsartan in case the problem is aldosterone breakthrough and the valsartan cures it?

    Please let us know the results. Good luck.
