Losing excess weight can contribute to lower blood pressure for some people. It does not guarantee a normal reading or replace prescribed treatment.
Measure the outcome
Blood pressure has several influences, and a diagnosis depends on proper measurement and assessment. Do not reduce or stop blood-pressure medicine because your weight has changed. Your clinician can review readings and symptoms together.
What you can do next
Arrange a blood-pressure check or follow your agreed home-monitoring plan. Take the readings to a review rather than judging treatment from the scales.
