A member asked:

Bp2 husband has been stable on meds for several years. he lost 20 lbs. lately he has been cycling. could meds have to be tweaked due 2 weight loss?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Probably: Sounds like he is doing exactly what is recommended to manage high blood pressure with lifestyle modification. Yes, it is possible the meds need to be reduced in dose as his weight goes down and exercise increases. Good work!
