Yes for sure it will cause problems and more complications which will keep your Dr. happy Hypertension is a lifestyle disease which requires only lifestyle changes and no medicine is needed provided the triggers are identified and treated. Reversible causes of BP like Mineral, Vitamin deficiency, high calorie diet, Thyroid disease, etc needs to be excluded and treated which will cure your high BP. 1) Detailed history including dietary & lifestyle habits needed in addition to medical, occupational ,& environment history 2) Comprehensive lab testing needed which should have tests for inflammation and mineral deficiency. Get detailed dietary and lifestyle advice based on the basis of detailed history and lab tests results. Send feedback with name and contact number and take consult. Rule out any structural heart disease as proved by normal cardiac tests like Echo, and TMT, If your test results are all normal but you are still having high BP that clearly indicates your Dr. Has not addressed the root cause of the problem. Dr. Medicating you without educating you puts a temporary fix. Do not stop medications without complete change in lifestyle and diet and bp monitoring at home. Wake up and Get educated and never medicated for any Lifestyle and dietary disease like high BP and reverse your elevated BP naturally. So change your diet, change your lifestyle, change your doctor and you will get permanent cure for sure.

Sir, you already are on three medications for your Hypertension. Lercanidipin, Atenolol and Losartan. All these medicines have their own share of side-effects. Your doctor must have prescribed them to you with a purpose. May be that your blood pressure was not coming under control with single drug. Along with the drugs have you exercise schedule in place. At your age, daily walk for 45 minutes would be wonderful. Also make the changes in your life style as I am sure your treating physician must have advised. With his permission you can drop one medicine, have a regular check on your blood pressure.(digital monitoring at home is preferable). If you are manageable on one medicine short, that would be a better scenario. But in any case do not take a decision to drop the medicine on your own. Take a consult.
