Blood pressure
I am currently on Labetalol 200mg 2 times daily for high blood pressure. It began during my pregnancy last year. Due to changes in my diet and exercise, my blood pressure is the lowest it has been since I've been on the medicine. It is currently 103/77. Can I stop the labetalol or do I have to wean off of it ?

Diet and exercise regime helps . Try meditation too. You may wean medicine. Reduce dose and recheck BP after a week. If in acceptable range, thats the correct dose . If it continues to be low, reduce further and recheck. Best done with your doctor in the loop
