How should menopausal hypertension be effectively managed?

Patient's question:

All one week earlier, the first two days are less, 4-5 days more, it takes about 7 days to finish. This month, from the beginning of the month to now, it hasn't arrived yet. Other symptoms of menopause are not obvious, now only the symptom of irritability, no sweating.
Past treatment and effectiveness: During New Year's Day, blood pressure was 90-220. Then the hospital prescribed Enalapril maleate 10 mg and Metoprolol tartrate 25 mg to take 3 tablets each in the morning. At first, it was a bit better, but a few days later, it didn't work, and blood pressure went back up to 90-180.
In February, the medication was changed to: S, specifications 47.5, Telmisartan capsules 40 mg, Felodipine extended-release tablets 5 mg. Initially, I took one tablet each in the morning and evening, and blood pressure was around 90-140. But later, it didn't work well and was still high. Now, I take 2 tablets each in the morning.

Doctor's answer:

Patients with hypertension must persist in taking oral antihypertensive drugs to control blood pressure. They can take long-acting antihypertensive drugs, such as Yantang No. 0, which only requires one pill per day for easy oral administration. People with hypertension should not take estrogen casually.
In daily life, it is important to avoid drinking beer, smoking, and consuming spicy, greasy, or fatty foods. The diet should be based on lightness, with low fat, low salt, and low cholesterol. Avoid eating animal organs with high cholesterol content. Do not eat egg yolks or animal fats, but consume only vegetable oils. Eat more vegetables and fruits.
Engage in more physical activities, practice dietary control, stay warm to prevent colds, and avoid catching colds. Do not worry, get angry, or lose your temper. Stay happy and maintain a positive mindset.
