Hope I have the right site this time. I am a 65 yr old . Been on 10mg Ramipril and 40mg propranolol daily. All has been stable after lots of altering of dosage. However this week my BP is high. Is it ok for me to have an extra propranolol. Thank you.

No do not take any more medication other than what has been prescribed for you. It is irrelevant what doses other people are on because the doctor will prescribe a dose that is for you. If you are still having very high blood pressure you need to make an appointment and see your doctor. He will either change the dose or change the medication to a different one. If you are taking your own blood pressure do bear in mind that if you are rushing about had a cup of coffee just before talking all these things will not give you a correct reading and the blood pressure will be higher than normal. You need to be relaxed and not talk when your blood pressure is being taken. Any stress and anxiety will also increase your blood pressure so try and avoid stressful situations. Cut down on your intake of salt which is know to raise blood pressure. Do relaxation to low stress levels. Make an appointment to see your doctor.
