I want to stop my BP medication. I am on telmisartan 20 for past few months . I have lost a lot of weight with regular walks and exercise. My current bp ranges from 120/80 to 135/95 . I started with telmisartan 40mg. Reason for this medication was stress and anxiety. But I'm not taking any med for it now . Just need to stop BP med now . Lifestyle change has helped me a lot on reducing my BP . I don't smoke and I have gradually cut down on alcohol as well. my highest BP readings few years back was 160/100. So kindly help me how can I stop and taper this medicine .
