Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I want to assure you that do not worry as everything will be fine soon. I have thoroughly reviewed your case and understand your genuine concerns.

If left untreated, high blood pressure may damage badly your lungs, kidneys, heart, blood vessels, brain, peripheral nerves and many more effects that may need months to years to develop. Kidney failure-coma-death, liver failure-coma-death, stroke-brain damage-paralysis-coma-death, coronary artery disease, heart enlargement-heart attack-death, pulmonary arterial hypertension-breathing, and many other issues- lungs failure and transplant needed, many more are the results of untreated hypertension.

Let me help you find the best medications and treatment for you. What is your age, height, waist neck, and hips circumference, weight? What is your blood pressure readings?

I hope this helps.

Please revert so I can assist you further.

Thank you.
