What should I do if my blood pressure is a bit high after taking Irbesartan tablets?

If blood pressure remains slightly elevated after taking Irbesartan tablets, the following measures can be taken: 1. Adjust lifestyle: The treatment of hypertension involves not only medication but also lifestyle modifications. It is recommended to reduce salt intake, with daily salt consumption not exceeding 6 grams; increase potassium intake by consuming more potassium-rich foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits; reduce fat intake, especially saturated and trans fats; increase physical activity, such as brisk walking, jogging, or swimming, at least 150 minutes per week of moderate-intensity aerobic exercise; and maintain a positive mindset, avoiding excessive tension and stress. 2. Adjust medication dosage or type: If blood pressure remains high after lifestyle modifications, consult your doctor about adjusting the medication dosage or switching to another type of medication. Irbesartan tablets, as an angiotensin receptor blocker, may be combined with other antihypertensive medications such as diuretics or calcium channel blockers for better blood pressure control if used alone is insufficient. However, any medication adjustments must be conducted under a doctor's supervision. 3. Regular blood pressure monitoring: Regardless of whether medication or lifestyle changes are implemented, blood pressure should be monitored regularly to promptly assess blood pressure control and make necessary adjustments. If blood pressure continues to rise or other uncomfortable symptoms occur, seek medical attention promptly.
