Why Should Blood Pressure Medication Be Taken Daily?
my doctor prescribed Naratriptan HCL 2.5 mg TA for headaches with Verapamil ER 120 MG He said to take the blood pressure meds daily and the Naratriptan as needed. My blood pressure in his office was 130/90. I know that it considered high but it has been that high before and he didnt prescribed anything then. Why should I take the blood pressure meds everyday?

High blood pressure cannot be cured, and if you need to take medicines, you will probably need to keep taking them for life. If you stop, your blood pressure will rise back up again.
It is very important to keep taking your medicines, even if you don’t feel unwell. By keeping your blood pressure low you are protecting your heart and blood vessels from damage and disease.
Build your blood pressure medicines into your daily routine – take them at the same time every day, and get into the habit of taking them. This will help you get the most benefit from them
