I think what you means is stamlo 2.5 mg once daily, it is ok to take medications but if this is the first time you have been diagnosed with high BP, then 1) We should search for any causes that may be leading to high BP for which you should get Kidney function test, LIpid profile, TSH, HbA1c and Liver function test along with a ecg, echo & TMT. Consult a cardiologist with these reports. 2) You should immediately start with lifestyle modifications like - daily 40 mins of exercise like brisk walking, exercise etc, quit smoking and drinking (in case you do), restrict salt intake in your diet by avoiding salty foods like pickles, chutneys, papads, namkeens, chips, sauces & junk food, normal salt that is added in food while cooking is fine, take a detailed diet consult for a healthy heart diet with a dietitian, if you are obese then target to bring your weight in the BMI limit by exercising and cdiet modifications. 3) Please understand that BP is a fluctating problem it is impacted by day to day stress, anger, lack of sleep etc so ensure that you work on these factors. 4) If despite these measures your BP remains above 140/90 mm Hg then please consult a cardiologist for change of medications and remain in routine follow up with them.
