Your father needs to follow his doctor's orders.  Three yrs on these meds and so far no side effects I would not worry.  As for side effect for long use?  BP meds have to be taken long term otherwise the side effect " without"  meds could be a stroke or heart attack.

As for the natural stuff, it depends how high your father's BP is, and what his doctor says.  If its only slightly elevated maybe life style/diet changes and natural stuff can help, but since 120/80 is now considered "pre-hypertensive" doctors do not believe in the natural stuff very much.

Most of all its very important NOT to stop BP meds on your own that can be very dangerous.
