A member asked:

How can i get off high blood pressure medicine safely as i lose weight?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Loosing weight may help but not eliminate completely getting off anti hypertension pills. Getting off any pills should be done under close supervision of your doctor. You can buy a blood pressure kit from a pharmacy and record your own home blood pressure.
