Resistant hypertension is when your blood pressure remains high or uncontrolled despite medication. Hypertension is a significant health problem in and of itself. It’s even more frustrating when taking multiple medicines but still doesn’t feel better.

∙ ‘You take four or more medicines to control your high blood pressure.
Also, you need to be aware of the underlying condition that causes an increase in high blood pressure.

1. Old age
