hayleegirl321,

 

Thanks for your question.  It can take two to three weeks to see the full effect of a medicatin change, so it's still a bit early to see results in your situation.  If you're still getting high readings after three weeks, I would make another appointment to see the doctor andhave him check your pressure.

 

Best wishes.
