Is It Safe To Stop High Blood Pressure Medication?
Hi, im currently taking meds for high blood pressure, Lisinopril, i notice that with a daily regimen of exercise, my blood pressure has been fine, well within the normal range, i stopped taking the meds and even then, blood pressure fine. Question is, should i have eased off the meds 1st? or am i fine?

Hello!
Welcome and thank you for asking on HCM!
I understand your concern and would explain that if your blood pressure is blood pressure is too low taking lisinopril, it indicates that you should stop this treatment, or reduce the dose.
It is true that lifestyle modifications in a stage I arterial hypertension, can decrease blood pressure in the normal ranges. In such case it is ok to stop antihypertensive therapy.
Hope to have been helpful!
Best regards,
Dr. Iliri
