Have you tried other "natural" ways to lower your blood pressure; motifying your salt to potassium ratio, eating less meat and more fruits and vegetables, exercise, weight loss, stress relief, etc.?

Blood pressure and its problems don't have symptoms at all which is why you feel "fine" but you aren't fine; unfortunately the medicines available now do have side effects. It's not "sooner it does the damage" it's doing the damage constantly, now, "doing the damage" as a single event literally means death!

Make it a project and study blood pressure and see if you can lower it with lifestyle modification (that's what I'm doing; my husband takes two or three different meds for his as he doesn't want to do lifestyle changes).
