Hello Sir,
Yes definitely.
Your Blood Pressure, it seems, is because of obvious obesity.
As is evident, you have started weight loss along with normalisation of your blood pressure automatically.
The mechanism through which weight loss causes decrease in blood pressure is Normalisation of Endothelial Function which relaxes blood vessel wall increasing its elasticity thus prohibiting rise in blood pressure.
Next Steps
Regular Blood Pressure Check at least once a month
Health Tips
With given level of blood pressure at such minimal doses, you can consider stopping these BP drugs under doctor’s close supervision.
