My blood pressure is 202/90, can i take a double dose of my blood pressure medication to lower my pressure?

No: Not without talking to your Physician.That is because of there are maximum dosages of medications and that they can affect you kidneys,heart or other organs.Doubling the dosage may cause irreversible damage so your physician is best for answering these questions
