Blood pressure: Great job on the weight loss. Blood pressure and weight are directly related. If you continue losing weight there is a possibility you could get off meds. Discuss this with your doctor for more advice. Do not stop your medicine until approved by the doctor. They can still tell if you can stop meds by your physical exam and blood pressure readings.
