Go see your doctor: Looks like you're already taking Diltiazem in addition to your ramipril. If your blood pressure is still high after 2 medications, ask about adding hctz, (hydrochlorothiazide) a weak diuretic. Exercise is useful as is eating a low salt, high potassium/magnesium diet.

BP still elevated: Your blood pressure is terribly elevated. You are ramipril (r) and ditiazem (d), both of which are not being given to you at maximum doses. Call your physician (p) and see if you can go to 20 mg of r and 360 mg of d daily. If that does not control your bp, your p may have to increase the number of BP meds you are taking. If your BP is still > 140 on 4 meds, consider secondary causes of hbp.
