I am 70 year old woman. I have mild hypertension since 1996. All along i am taking Amlodipine 5 mg and my bp readings all these 20 years hovers round 120/80 and 130/80.Two years back when i had swelling in the feet my phyisician prescribed Azelsartan 40 mg in the morning and Metxl 25 mg at night. With Metx,l diastolic is much reduced from 80 to 75 or so.But systolic did not reduced considerably. It is still around 150/80 and some times 160/80.
Now i would like to take Metxl 25 mg in the morning also and discontinue Azelsartan 40 mg. My physician says in elderly patients controlling systolic pressure to 130 needs multiple drugs which can cause some side effects. Indian studies say systolic pressure 150 is ok if it is between 140 and 150, especially in those who are above 70. In some patients it is not possible to bring it to 140 despite using some 4 to 5 hypertensive drugs. I diabetic since 15 years and is fully under control. HBA1c is 5.6. KIndly advise and give your opinion if anybody has same problem.

Am 70 year old and I am having Diabetes from 2005 and Hypothyroidsm from 2012. Both conditions are very well under control. I take Azelsartan Medoximil 40 mg in the morning and Metxl 25 mg after dinner for hypertension. Though my diastolic readings are between 69 to 80. My systolic oscillates between 148 to 165. For most of the time the reading is 149 or 150. Is this normal for me? My doc says elders who are above 70 should have systolic at 150 if not if it is less, oxygen supply to the brain decreases and a problem may come. Is it so? Please advise.
