BP medicines are usually needed lifelong if all secondary causes are ruled out. Please do not stop medicines unless your doctor tells you to stop. You can simultaneously work on lifestyle modifications for high BP which might reduce your medicines temporarily. These include DASH diet, regular exercise, weight reduction etc
