Elevated BP: Yes, you should definitely notify your physician, because your blood pressure control is not optimal. Let her review your history and decide whether or not to raise your dosage, add on another medication, or keep it the same. Also important are to convey to her whether you are having any symptoms. Some of these symptoms may require a visit to the ER. Please be evaluated by a physician.
