. asked:
Would the stopping of blood pressure controlling medication encourage someone to make healthy lifestyle choices like eating healthy, adequate water intake and exercise? Would it encourage someone to make a lifestyle change much sooner than they otherwise might decide on a much later time? What do you think?

No. What you need to do is break you big goal into smaller daily goals. You literally have to write down what you are going to eat for breakfast, lunch dinner and snacks. And what you will exercise for each day. So you get up on Monday and you don’t even have to think, you look at your schedule and you are eating ________ and doing ______ exercise. Take pictures before during and after to stay motivated. Also take waist measurements. I lost 70 pounds this way in 70 weeks. I still have high blood pressure. It’s not nearly as bad as it used to be, but I still take my pills.
its not a good idea to stop taking your blood pressure medication, it can lead to a lot of things that are far worse than having to take the medication. High blood pressure is know (where I come from) as the silent killer. Its not something to play with. A healthy lifestyle choice would help your medication control your blood pressure.
