You'll be prescribed a list of HBP medications that will be appropriate for your body type and told to monitor your blood pressure daily. The consequences of not treating your high blood pressure are far greater than the side effects of your medication.

Here are some things you can do now, that is within your control, to maintain optimal health and longevity:
With the lowering of your blood pressure, you may be able to escape the many complications of a heart attack, brain damage or kidney failure, that are all side effects of untreated high blood pressure.
