hi
first of all if you will be that much worried about blood pressure you will have blood increased pressure...simple logic.....now when we label a patient hypertensive we tell the blppd pressure chartion every day for a week then we analyze iz where patient just had an abrupt increase or is actually hypertensive......and you are 49 yrs ...chances are high....if your blood pressure is high then we rule out other diseases and do heart teststake care

Hi,
Welcome to HCM,
After going through your history,You have Essential Hypertension as you have been investigated for Hypertension and no cause is found in most of the cases of Hypertension >95% there is no cause is detected.
You should quit smoking and alcohol, continue exercise as it helps to keep fit,and other life style modification like pranayama.
It is proved beyond doubt scientifically that keeping BP in normal range with medicine is beneficial if BP is not controlled by only life style modifications.
It is true if in most cases treatment continues lifelong but there are more advantages of taking medicine regularly so please continue your treatment.
Take care
Good Luck.

you are suffering from secoundry hypertension. 90% are idiopathic but drinking and smoking aggravate hypertension
you had started life style modification. but you have to do quit smoking and alcohol( leads to further reduction of BP)
in addition take less salt
