Yes.
I lost weight (30 pounds), lowered my stress, and exercised more. My BP as well as my cholesterol came back to normal. I saved $100 a month in drugs.

In rare cases it might happen if an obese person lost a lot of weight, the need for blood pressure meds would diminish. Not in all cases. There are some very thin people with hypertension.

yes i know of people who have gone off their medications. for this to happen, they have to be very active in their own treatment - meaning they measure their blood pressure every morning when they wake up, they lose weight, they eat healthy and exercise. if you've had some sort of heart complication such as a heart attack or stroke you will be on the medications for life as they are more preventative for further heart problems.

Yes many people get off their meds especially if they lose weight or find a supplement that works well for them or even as they get older their BP might start stabalizing and they get off the meds.
