Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

Yes – Blood Pressure medicines have to be taken LIFE-LONG – if the life is to be long...

Generally, there are no symptoms from pressure.

Uncontrolled pressure,in the long run, will damage the target organs – Kidney / Eye / Heat / Brain.

Treated well, a near normal life – qualitative and quantitative – is possible.

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
