What is absolutely certain is that you need to have your BP controlled and if it means a lifetime on medication, so be it. What is equally certain is that hypertension won't just go away.
How very true that is ! I'm an example myself of how pilots can benefit from the regular medicals required to keep a licence. I'm now on BP treatment, but only after the hypertension was found five years ago by my own AME, while doing the medical for my own PPL ( no, I can't do my own ! ). If I had not had a pilot's licence I might not have known to this day that BP was raised - it causes ZERO symptoms !

I now travel about 60 miles to see the chap who used to be my local AME
Do you save time and trouble by doing that trip in your R 22 ? I've often wondered if one of those could be landed in my back garden ! !
