It is possible to sometimes get off blood pressure medication after you make some aggressive and often difficult lifestyle changes, although high blood pressure is still a serious health concern and some people may need to be on blood pressure medication for life.

Getting plenty of exercise, reducing stress, managing your weight, avoiding smoking or quitting smoking if you smoke, eating healthy etc can help you in some cases to get off blood pressure medication.

Although there's no guarantee that you can get off blood pressure medication, but some people do get off their blood pressure medication, if their blood pressure is not too out of control.

The blood pressure that is considered Normal blood pressure by age for young people and sometimes older people is (<120/80 mm Hg) although it can vary.

Below is a list of normal blood pressure by age.

Adolescent (14–18 years)    90–120    50–80

Adult (19–40 years)    95–135    60–80

Adult (41–60 years)    110–145    70–90

Older adult (61 and older)    95–145    70–90

The time of the day that your blood pressure is the highest is 12:00 PM which is midday.

During the evening your blood pressure lowers and at night when sleeping your blood pressure lowers then by morning your blood pressure starts to rise again and gets at it's highest by 12:00 PM or midday.

High blood pressure is caused by stress, anxiety, dehydration, smoking, being overweight, obesity, older age, genetics, too much alcohol consumption, lack of physical activity and eating too much salt and fat.
