Don't stop the meds. Please don't. Also If u didn't had high blood pressure and on meds. U will be weak tired all the time dizzy. And your b.p. would be lower than 110's and 128. Also,its not safe to just stop a med u could have a rebound trust me when I say. Young or old blood pressure effects any age. Fat or skinny it would effect u

RECHECK YOUR HOME BP INSTRUMENT IT SEEMS FAULTY ...SIMULTANEOUS READINGS SHOULD BE TAKEN ,

Hello.Welcome to HCM forum.Being only 25 years in age there must be effort to find out the cause for your hypertension like kidney disorders,endocrine disorders like Cushing,hyperparathyroidism etc.It is very good that you have lost substantial weight but you still have to shed more.Don't stop the medicines at once.Even if you want to reduce it,you must consult your physician and also do so by reducing the dose of anti hypertensives gradually.Keep on doing exercises and avoid junk foods.Thanks and good luck.
