My blood pressure is 180/130 what else can i do to get it down. the medication is not doing it alone?

Medication: You will need more medication to control your bp. Low salt diet and weight loss may help too. Work up for secondary causes of hypertension such as hormonal or vascular abnormalities may be needed if not controlled with several medications. Discuss with your doctor.
