Talk to GP: Treatment for High Blood Pressure involves a continuous medication regimen. Starting and stopping the Hypertension meds is dangerous and ineffective. Your GP should coordinate any needed paperwork and medication adjustments in order for you to be treated for your Hypertension. Talk to them about your next steps.
