Despite taking diovan to control my high blood pressure it does not seem to working?

my weekly Blood pressure readings average out at 178/90.Is there a combination of drugs that can help apart from my own effort such as exercise and losing weight. It worries me that my blood pressure is constantly high.





My doctor seems think it is not a problem despite the fact that I have angina. But everything I read points to the contrary that my BP ought not to be more than 150/90 for my 60 years of age.Despite taking diovan to control my high blood pressure it does not seem to working?
Calm down - go and put the blood pressure gauge in the bin.





There is a REASON people should not have such equipment at home and play doctors...





There is also a reason doctors have to study for several years...





You can't and shouldn't attempt DIY medical diagnosis.





You'll drive yourself crazy.





Your doctor knows best, if he says it is fine - it is fine!





There are several things that can cause temporary high blood pressure, including stress, and if you are at home worrying about you bp and taking lots of tests and getting even more stressed about the results, you, yes YOU are just going to aggrevate your condition.





Relax.
