Hi, thank you for asking Healthcare Magic.
I have gone through your query and understood your concerns.
After starting treatment for blood pressure, your blood pressure needs to be controlled to see if the drug is working or not. If the drug is not working, another drug might be added or the drug might be changed. It could be possible that your blood pressure is still high. Also, in addition to blood pressure drugs, some lifestyle modifications are necessary. These include reduction of salt intake, avoidance of smoking and too much alcohol, increase physical exercise. In my opinion, I would suggest you go for blood pressure control and then try these lifestyle modifications.
I hope that answers your query. If you have additional questions or follow up queries then please do not hesitate in writing to us. We will be delighted to answer more questions from you.
I wish you good health
