Even if i'm not overweight, can losing 5-10 lbs lower my blood pressure? mine's still 160/90 w/two meds - enalapril and furosemide.

blood pressure: Weight loss can sometimes help with blood pressure in non obese patients. Furosemide is often not as good for BP as hydrochlorothiazide a less potent diuretic. Enalapril needs to be titrated to an effective dose, low doses often don't do much for bp.
