My grandmother had hypertension and took blood pressure medicine for over four decades. She remained healthy and lived to be over 100 years old. However, she also needed medication for digestion and gas, which seemed to be side effects of her blood pressure medicine. Overall, the medication seemed to have been a good choice.
