hello,I have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.
Your thinking is definitely not proper and in fact it is dangerous.Hypertension is silent enemy,almost 30% of patients are unaware of it.It damages eyes,kidneys,brain and heart without patient being aware about it!And it leads to irreversible damage to such organs with no point of return.So you need medication and that too life long.Please get yourself checked up for any kidney or vital organ damage too,
My best wishes
