I have high blood pressure from march 2017 when it was diagnosed it was 160/100 it is in control now what shall I do to get rid of medicines.

Question

1) Your BP is controlled due to medications, if you want your medications to be reduced then you need to follow lifestyle changes under supervision of a doctor and still it may not be completely possible to stop the need of medication or reduction of medication for complete BP control. So it will be better if you discuss this with your treating cardiologist. 2) Life style changes required are - daily 40 mins of exercise, eating a diet like a DASH diet and controlling amount of salt intake in diet, quitting smoking and drinking, reduce coffee and tea drinking and having an optimal BMI by reducing excessive weight using diet and exercise.
