Thnks Doctor: Hello,  as your blood pressure is very high, it would not be controlled with lifestyle changes alone,  hence you need to start on medication at present,  one can slowly consider decreasing dose after a good control is a achieved.  Meanwhile you should start Exercise 30-45 mins a day atleast 5 times a week Decrease salt in diet to less than 2-3 gms a day Consider losing weight and try achieving ideal weight of around 80.
