Can High Blood Pressure Be Reduced Without Taking Medication?

Hello, I am a 45 year old male that took my first dose of Ramipril. I run regularly and am in good physical shape. I was surprised to hear that my blood pressure was high. I believe I am somewhat of an anxious person and this may be the driver for my high blood pressure. I was prescribed 10mg a day (2 X 5mg). I don t want to be on these drugs for my whole life. I will take them if needed, but want to either reduce or eliminate. Is it reasonable to think that I can work toward either reducing or eliminating this drug? Thank you kindly…...
