What are the treatments for the condition?

Blood pressure will usually return to normal when the medication is stopped. In some cases, it may be dangerous for the individual to discontinue the medication responsible for the high blood pressure because of another medication condition he or she has. These people can be treated with drugs to lower blood pressure.

What are the side effects of the treatments?

If a drug has to be discontinued because of high blood pressure, the condition it was prescribed to treat may worsen or return. Additional medications used to treat high blood pressure may cause side effects of their own. These can induce allergic reaction, stomach upset, and other symptoms depending upon the drug.

What happens after treatment for the condition?

Once the drug is stopped and blood pressure returns to normal, further treatment is generally unnecessary.

How is the condition monitored?

Repeat blood pressure measurements can be used to monitor the condition until it goes away.
