Yes, it's completely redundant

ARBs (like Telmisartan) are a step higher, so they do more things and have multiple other benefits

Eplerenone blocks aldosterone directly after it’s already produced

Telmisartan prevents aldosterone from being produced in the first place

What's a "normal" blood pressure reading to you and what are your numbers? I'd still look into telmisartan because I believe it can directly inhibit LVH through pathways outside of it's effects on BP. Not 100% sure of that because I haven't really looked into it so take it with a grain of salt and just do some research.
