A member asked:

Is there any circumstances when pills for high bp & high cholesterol may be discontinued by the doctor. my bp is stable since last 1 yr 130/80 ?

Dr. Raj Singh answered

Yes: If your BP is 130/80 without taking BP medications than there is no need for BP meds unless you have diabetes. If your BP is 130/80 with medications then i dont see any reason to discontinue them. Same is true for cholesterol medication and it will depend on your lipid control with and without medication.
