LK is a 68-year-old female with hypertension previously seen in the pharmacy clinic by a colleague (now on maternity leave) for the last 2 years. Chart review reveals that LK is under good control (120s over 70s) and has been steadily losing weight at the rate of 5 lb per year. She is on chlorthalidone 25 mg q AM, lisinopril 20 mg q AM, and carvedilol 6.25 mg bid. Her home blood pressure readings are excellent over the last 6 months with a slight downward trend in evening and bedtime readings (as low as 100/66). In taking her history, she denies any problems except for occasional dizziness that occurs most frequently after getting up from the dinner table, especially after a big meal (about one to two times/week). The other change is that she has begun to walk 2 miles a day with her new nextdoor neighbor, with whom she is becoming fast friends. Her sitting blood pressure reading by you today at 11 AM is 110/68 with a pulse of 72. What should you do next?
