Hi lybrate-user Do take medications as advised by your doctor. Your blood pressure is 120/80 mm hg because of the regular medications only. It is good that you are also pursuing yoga, meditation and physical activity. The requirement of the drugs may come down definitely. But, do stop or alter medications on medical advice only.
