Figuring out a new BP med combo

So they put dad on Losartan along with his Almlodipine an Chlorthalidone. They took him off Toprol. The first 2 days his BP was down to 125/65. Without the Losartan it was in 145/160s. But now its back at 140/70. Idk why it stopped going into the 120s. Wonder if he should have kept the Toprol and quit the Chlorthalidone? Its been a 3 month battle to replace his Lisinopril. Lisinopril worked for years along with Amlodipine but started to make him swell up. So he quit Lisinopril. Since his tried prob 4 different meds. Would it help if he took the Losartan at night and Almodipine and Chlorthaidone in the morning? Hes been taking all his BP meds in the morning.idk which combo its gonna take but it needs to get figured out. Does ot take a week or 2 for Losartan to kick in?

Im replacing my OEM spoiler with a Khann style one. It doesnt match up with the original holes. So to keep water out what do you suggest I use? 3M Super Strength molding tape or 3M VHB tape? Should I use putty as well? Or just find some kind of gromnent plug?

So Orkin sprayed the house 6 months ago for $2K. Didnt see any for awhile. But a few weeks ago i woke up and my arm was burning an in saw the little bastard crawling away. Ive flipped my matress, looked on the headboard and surrounding tables. It seems its not a infestation like we had before but i just cant find them. Samething on my arm last night so somes still here. I swore Orkin was a 1 year warranty but they said its 1 month. I cant afford to pay that much again. Wonder if the bed bug foggers would work?
