Hi,

Arterial hypertension is a disease, when one's organism fails to control blood pressure, so medication is needed to help control blood pressure.
If withdraw medication, the organism will have the same problem, and high blood pressure will occur again, so anti hypertensive medication is needed lifelong.
Sometimes lifestyle changes can help our organism to regain the ability of controlling blood pressure, so there is a little chance, that you can withdraw medications gradually with healthy lifestyle .

Hope I could help you

Wishing you good health
