Is Regular Doctor Consultation Advisable For High Blood Pressure?

Hello Doctor, I take medications for high blood pressure, but I can t get to see the doctor every month or sometimes even up to 4 months due to a very busy work travel schedule. These med s are not pain pills or other med s that require me to sign for them, but I can t seem to find a doctor that will fill my med s for a 3 - 6 month period. I am 56 years old and always run out of my med s. I skip days and cut them in half while I am on the road with work. Do you have a suggestion ? My feelings are that I am a grown adult and will see the Doctor when I feel bad and do not need to see him/her on a regular basis just to check my blood pressure. I have an OMRON blood pressure medical tool and take my own blood pressure every day. Your thoughts or comments are appreciated. Best Regards, Patrick

High blood pressure is a chronic medical condition.
I recommend regular measures of the blood pressure.
I also recommend regular cardiac ultrasounds and electrocardiogram.
