You have hypertension only I hope no other medical problem and you do not smoke and no joint pain as you can walk 4 km you do not take analgesic drugs often, some times multiple drugs are requred for control of blood pressure.Yes most of the times medication for blood pressure is to be continued for life time if you feel any abnormal thing report it to the doctor usually these are tolerated by patients well.
