I'm 33 and have been dealing with high blood pressure for about a decade. I've been taking medication for it, initially just Nebicard 5 mg, but after 12 years, my doctor switched me to Covamlo. However, recently due to some family stress, my blood pressure has spiked, and my doctor prescribed me two tablets. I'm really worried about this change. Is this normal, and should I be concerned about having to take more medication?

You have been prescribed 2 tablets, so please take them as directed by your doctor. This combination medication contains Valsartan 160mg and Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5mg. Taking your medication regularly and managing stress through relaxation techniques can help control your blood pressure.
