A member asked:

If your blood pressure is 120/73 is it normal to keep taking blood pressure ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It depends: The question becomes - is my normal BP readings because of the medication i'm taking or is it normal even off meds? Best for you to discuss with your doctor to see if medication is still required. Perhaps lowering the doses may also be an otption.
