How quick does heart and kidney damage set in if blood pressure wont come down from 136/95 for several hours?

It starts immediately but will likely take years to detect or do real damage. Assuming the reading was taken properly with an accurate device. The first VA studied required patients to have an outpatient diastolic BP of 115-120 for six months on no meds. Mo one developed heart or kidney damage in that time All men. The first thing to do is to move to the DASH diet.

The body is pretty resilient and it takes a long time (years) for serious damage to occur. Hope you find meds which will do help
