Thanks for writing to HCM
Generally hypertension requires life long treatment.
You have prescribed right medicines.You should take it continuously.
Sorry,you can't stop it when your B.P is controlled because it will shoot up again.
You should do exercise and walking.
Avoid taking fat and fried things.Limit salt intake.
Take green leafy vegetables and salad in diet.
Get well soon.
Take Care
