Medicine for hypertension is generally asked to be continued for life time though it is normal. why? -

lifetime disorder. of course the bp is normal when youre taking the med thats the idea. if you quit it goes up.

1) Probably your blood pressure is normal now because you are still taking it. 2) If there is no treatable cause for hihg blood pressure (like some endocrine problems), then curing a high blood pressure with medication is impossible. It can only be controlled. 3) Some of the medications (like beta blockers) are such that if stopped, then there will be rebound and adngerous rise in blood pressure. 4) Keeping the protection of heart in mind-contraversial

hypertension is one of the risk factors for strokes, heart attacks, heart failure so patients are usually prescribed aspirin to thin the blood to prevent a blood clot forming which can result in brain hemarroage or stroke...if they stop taking aspirin their risk of blood clot forming is much much higher
