Dieting And Medication May Reduce Blood Pressure In Patients With Hypertension

No. Dieting WITHOUT medication does reduce blood pressure in patients with hyperension.
"Adults with hypertension may be able to lower their weight and their blood pressure by following a weight-loss diet or using the medication orlistat, according to a meta-analysis of previously published studies reported in the March 24 issue of Archives of Internal Medicine, one of the JAMA/Archives journals."
Note "or."

Lose the weight, lose the high blood pressure.

Don't pay for the drugs and their side effects.
