Hello, thanks for posting a question on our site.
Your ideal weight is around 65 -81 kg. At 82kg it is good enough. From my experience with patients that were overweight/ obese, they reduced 5-8 mmHg after losing significant weight. Some of them were able to live without drugs after this, especially those who had no famil history of hypertension. I advise that even after losing weight and having a reduced blood pressure, consult your physician before stopping blood pressure medication to avoid withdrawal symptoms. Warm regards
