Once you have been diagnosed with hypertension, if it is familial, you will have to stay on medication for the rest of your life.

Once you are diagnosed with hypertension, you will need to be on blood pressure medication as long as the condition persists. Your doctor may change your medication around as he or she feels is most therapeutic to you. Most people who have hypertension that start medication are on it most of their life.
