Hi XXXX
What you're experiencing is related to hypertension. You should be concern somehow because untreated hypertension may lead to serious medical conditions (such as stroke, heart attack , renal failure).
However you shouldn't worry to much because the mentioned complications happens several years after untreated hypertension.
I recommend contacting your doctor and discussing with him or her about increasing the effectiveness of you your BP medication regime.
Hope this was of help!
