[|AI|]  Greetings! Welcome to Chat Doctor, and thank you for your question. I understand your concern. If a diagnosis of high blood pressure (hypertension) is now established, and treatment, as above mentioned, is installed and adhered to, then it may be also for a lifetime. You see, blood pressure figures have to be controlled, if you are diagnosed with hypertension. Every long-standing, constant finding of high blood pressure figures, higher than 140/90 mmHg, is accompanied by slow, gradually progressive, but certain damages to all organs in the organism, starting from the heart which has to pump, for a long time, against an increased resistance in the periphery. There, of course, are a lot of Chat Doctor.  One of them is the calcium channel blocker, nifedipine, which you are already on. No matter what medication is used, the final aim is to keep blood pressure figures under 140/90 mmHg. Also, I would recommend you to quit smoking, as it affects blood pressure, have a healthy physically active lifestyle, i.e. 60 minutes of physical activity every day, and limit your salt intake in diet, as much as you can. I hope I was helpful with my answer. Wish you a good health. Kind regards,
