My blood pressure is well controlled and do I still need to take my medication?


Yes, high blood pressure is a silent disease and can cause devastating complications if it is left untreated. If your blood pressure is well controlled, you are doing a great job,. Continue with your medications. In most cases, this is life long. Even if your blood pressure is well controlled after several days despite not taking the pill, you still need to take the medication. If you do not, you will most likely end up with damage to your heart, eyes, kidney or brain- none of them are pleasant and cost a lot more to fix than buying a blood pressure pill.
