Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,
You have Hypertension and taking treatment, in most of the cases of Hypertension it is patho physiologic condition and may not be cured but can always be controlled to desirable level.
You have to follow lifestyle changes like taking less salt You also have Lipid abnormality so Atorvastatin is prescribed which will require diet changes and regular physical activity.
Yes there may be minor side effects but benefits of keeping blood pressure under control are much more than the side effects it is proved scientifically beyond doubt.
Hence do not worry and take your treatment regularly and periodic medical check up. It is true treatment is lifelong.
Wish you good Health.
Take care.
Good Luck.
