I'm guessing that is the BP the doc is looking for while taking the
meds. It needs to be unusually low with the meds if it is to stay
low enough without the meds.

Maybe. But if the meds counteract the body's own attempts to raise BP
it may never drop that low, simply because the body keeps raising it
to more normal levels. Thus, you never get off the meds. The only
way to see if it's normal without medication is to stop the
medication, but most doctors won't risk that. The bad effects of
hypertension are well documented, and doctors don't want to run the
risk that the BP would run away if the meds were stopped.


You are an idiot.
