A member asked:

I have high blood pressure and a have been taking enalapril for the past two years. is there a point when i could be advised to stop taking it?

Maybe: Sometimes lifestyle modifications can help decrease BP and even stop taking medications. Exercise, low sodium diet, losing weight. But there are also the situations which medication are necessary.
