Uncontrolled HTN: The combination of b-blockers and calcium channel blocker may be is not doing the job. I will add a mild diuretic or a ace inhibitor but you should always talk to your doctor. Also remember low salt high potassium diet, exercise, loose weight if overweight. There are many drug combination and every patient will react in different ways. Stay in communication with your doctor.
