How To Treat High BP?

Hi, i was diagnosed with High BP in 2006. 160/110; went on medication for 8 months. Then deliberately stopped taking drugs with the alterative of natural remedy and lifestyle changes. Just came back for general check up and my BP reads averagely 160/104. I have been without medication for more than 3 years. Except time to time casual headaches and palpitation (currently) , I have not been feeling that bad. How come, if my BP has been so high for so long?

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can I can understand your.
In my opinion, you should take antihypertensive drug along with lifestyle changes.
Your Intermittent symptoms of headache and palpitations are suggestive of high blood pressure.
So you are having this high blood pressure since starting.
No harm in taking antihypertensive drug regularly.
Continue other natural remedy and lifestyle modifications along with antihypertensive drug to control your blood pressure.
Don't worry, take your antihypertensive drug regularly and you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
