Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

The effect of drugs can be seen in a few hours / stabilised in a few days...
This is mild Hypertension / can be easily controlled / nothing to worry now
It needs REGULAR medication –

Beware! - BP is a silent killer / there are often no symptoms / Target organ damage is a big risk – Heart (attack), Kidney (failure), Eyes (Blindness), Brain (paralysis) / and can be prevented or postponed by regular medication
See your doctor..

Take care
Wishing speedy recovery
God bless
Good luck
