Because high blood pressure silently damages renal blood vessels over years, existing kidney issues are often only discovered after treatment begins, leading patients to erroneously blame the new medication. Dr. Sangoi warns that stopping medication once BP readings normalize is a critical mistake, as hypertension is typically a lifelong condition and sudden discontinuation can trigger \"rebound hypertension,\" drastically increasing the risk of strokes, heart attacks, and accelerated organ failure. While lifestyle modifications like salt reduction and exercise are essential supportive tools, they should only be used to complement—not replace—prescribed therapy under strict medical supervision.",
