You could physically withstand HT crises happening every day for a long time and you would not endure a stroke as long as you got a BP medicine to rverse the effects. Of course it's not healthy having them every day, as it is deleterious on the heart and other organs, but you would not die if you had them on a regular basis, even if for a long time (once again, must get BP medicine ofcourse)
so be careful what you wish for ! Why don't you carry some Nifedipine ?
That's a good idea. Nifedine/Procardia. Carry it with you Tep- and take one if you feel HT crises. But I would still recommend going to hospital.Ace.......................................
