When 2 Stop BP meds?: 48 F asks when will I know I am ready to stop BP meds. I have lost 110 lbs Readings now 110/70. Congratulations on the weight loss and excellent BPs. Work with your team and discuss if tapering is something to start. In general I recommend taking BP daily and stepping down slowly. With this amt of wt loss may not need any but work with team. Keep up the good work!
