Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome back to Ask A Doctor service!

I understand your concern and would explain that usually when blood pressure values are stable and within the normal ranges, these adverse effects disappear after a couple of weeks.

Hope you will find this answer helpful!

I remain at your disposal for any further questions whenever you need!

Kind regards,

Dr.Iliri
