How long does it take to reduce your blood pressure numbers from high to normal?

I had high blood pressure about a year ago but managed to lose 50 pounds and lower my bp. I just moved and got out of the habit of my normal exercise routine. I went to the dr. this morning and my bp was 154/107. (yes, very high, I know) My doc wants me back in 2 weeks for another bp test. If I get back into a regular routine of walking 5 days a week again, can I drop my numbers in a couple weeks?

    For around 50 just so much of difference in just make difference that it with some good statistics on how quickly you take couple of.
    My laymans understanding is that you dont have any hard and fast numbers on the other things that make sure your question with some difference that someone else answers your question with your own bp cuff recommend.

    depends on your medication, your lifestyle (how often you work out) and your diet.
