A member asked:

Will i need to stay on medication if my blood pressure is normal?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Hypertension: If you had high pressure and on medication it is now normal, that does not mean that you will be fine off medication. You should discuss with your doctor. Most hypertensives need medicine for life to keep BP normal. Sometimes the doses can be decreased and some people do get off meds, but relatively few.
