Hi XXXXXX,

Thank you for your query on Healthcare Magic.

High blood pressure usually requires life long medication to control it and to maintain it in normal or near normal range.

If the blood pressure is not controlled it will lead to heart problems, brain stroke, kidney, and eye problems.

Therefore I advise you to continue the blood pressure medication-Diovan in a appropriate dosage as advised by your doctor.

In other alternate medicine, the scientific evidence is lacking in the medication usage for high blood pressure.

Hope I have answered your query, if you have any clarification please let me know.

Regards.
