Hello, Thanks for writing to Chat Doctor, I am Chat Doctor. A blood pressure reading of 150/95 is borderline reading if persistent, you should be having lesser blood pressure, specially when on medication. There is no best medication for blood pressure, blood pressure medication is selected person to person, but ace inhibitors, diuretics and calcium channel blockers are most recommended around the world. A doctor considers many things like age, diabetes status, highest and lowest readings of blood pressure, and race etc. to select the best blood pressure medication for you. My advice for you is:1) First change your lifestyle.2) Use less salt and fat. 3) Stay physically active.4) Avoid Coffee caffeine, smoking (what ever is relevant).5) Lose weight if you are overweight.6) Monitor your blood pressure regularly if it stays consistently above 150/90 for a week instead of all the lifestyle modifications, do visit your doctor with that record to get the medication adjusted. I hope this answered your question, If you have more queries I am happy to answer you. Regards.
