Here's the scenario:

There's a new miracle med that just came out. It 100% eliminates your symptoms. So basically, you will never have BP symptoms again if you take this drug. But once you're on it, you're on it for life. There's no turning back.

Side effect: you gain 5 lbs a year, and the weight will never go away. So in 20 years, you will have put on an extra 100 lbs. 30 years, 150. etc

Would you do it?
