In general, if you lose sufficient weight, your blood pressure will
drop slightly. If you are lucky, it may drop enough that you may not need any
medications. However, in most people, the blood pressure drop after weight
loss is modest and they still require a small dose of the blood pressure
medication. If you lose weight, you may also have better control of your blood sugars, and the pain from
your osteoarthritis will also lessen. So, start walking today.
