Whats worse ?: Decide whats worse, taking a simple med once or twice a day or letting it go untreated.High BP can eventually cause injury to your kidneys, heart and lead to poor function for both.It could also predispose you to a stroke. Sometimes just changing your lifestyle can work.Some weight loss,exercise and dietary changes may fix the problem.If not, this is easily controlled by meds.
