[|Human|] hi i have been prescribed lisinopril/hctz 20-12.5 and carvedilol 25mg for my hypertension but my pressure remains high averaging 170/90. i have been on this medication for like 5 days now so i would like to know what to do if i should go back to my dr or what.
[|AI|]  Dear Sir/ MadamThanks for your query.1. Most classes of medications used for controlling blood pressure on office basis take 2-3 weeks to show full effect. Only during emergencies like stroke, heart attack or very high readings with evidence of end-organ damage, we try to bring it down rapidly.2. If you have any trouble or symptoms which are bothering you, you must see your physician on priority. SincerelySukhvinder
