Hello,
Antihypertension drugs are used in continuous time, alternating the doses based on blood pressure value. All medicines have side effects, but it is with more side effects having hypertension without treatment. If you have any specific problem, I recommend you to see your doctor.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
