Is It Possible To Bring Blood Pressure To A Normal Range By Reducing Weight?
Hi Dr Grief. I have been on blood pressure medication for the last four years. I also carry about 15kg of extra weight. Is it possible to get my blood pressure back to normal again if it s purely weight related & not inherited? My mother also has high blood pressure.

Hi i read your query very carefully.
Yes loosing weigh, may be accompanied with BP reduction. However i don't think that only weight reduction will be necessary to take your BP under control.
There will be need for some medications.
Hope it answer to your query!
