How much higher will my bp get if i discontinue my valsartan 40mg (lowest dose)? my baseline used to be 130s/80s and now it's around 108/62. i had untreated sleep apnea but the valsartan was able to lower the bp to this level before i started cpap?

This is much too complex a situation for accurate or safe advice from a distant forum. Keep working with your doctors. Good luck.

Valsartan is FDA approved for adult hypertension @ 80mg & above but my dose was lowered to 40mg for past few months and bp is around 118/75 (was 107/65 with 80mg). Do I still need bp meds? Recently started CPAP for mild sleep apnea. Also lost 12lb?
When I first started morning Valsartan 80mg I took it for a month and it didn't lower my baseline bp (130/80), until I started taking it at bedtime (lowered to 110/70). Back then I didn't know I had sleep apnea. Can you explain why it didn't work?
