I was 16, and was diagnosed 2 years ago. Im on medications like micardiz plus 40 mg and a norvasc 5mg at night. Will I still be able to live a normal life with this condition?

maybe it's all because of the growth of the organism? when I was 15 I had a lot of pressure changes. later all returned to normal. about 19 years.
I now suffer from high blood pressure again, but that's another story ...
