Thank you for sharing your medical story. I understand that you are concerned about the blood pressure values, which are still elevated and require further treatment. The goal of treatment is usually to achieve values below 140/90 mmHg, and in some cases even lower. To answer your question - no, it doesn't always have to be this way. Patience and cooperation with your doctor are key to achieving optimal blood pressure control.
The addition of Polpril to your therapy suggests that your doctor is trying to achieve better blood pressure control by using a combination of drugs with different mechanisms of action. It is a common practice in the treatment of hypertension, especially in stroke patients.
Amlopin (amlodipine) is a calcium channel blocker that acts mainly on blood vessels, reducing the tension of the smooth muscles of the vessel walls and lowering blood pressure. Polpril (ramipril), on the other hand, is an ACE inhibitor used in cardiology, including in the treatment of hypertension and heart failure.

Blood pressure control is a process that can take time and treatment adjustment. It is important to measure your blood pressure regularly and record your results and follow your doctor's instructions for medication dosage.
If you have doubts about this situation, it is always worth consulting a doctor who can provide more personalized advice. If you are not able to make a face-to-face visit, I attach a link to the online teleconsultation:
