I have high blood pressure and my doctor has done all the tests and all my reports are normal but pressure is very high so he terms my condition as essential hypertension that the cause is not know. Now the thing remains that he is only trying to lower my blood pressure through medications but it is still high. I feel it is stupid to do so because he is only treating the symptom of my body rather than treating the cause of the problem which he can't find out? Is he doing right? Bcoz I feel it is stupidity to try treating symptoms without treating the cause of the problem.
