General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello and thank you for asking us on HCM!

The blood pressure you have had before is considered high, second grade hypertension. Generally it can't be controlled without medications. So i'f afraid you have to take that medication continuously. Sure you will have better results if you make a healthy lifestyle with physical activity, reducing of salt and fat. It doesn't harm your heart if the BP remains in normal rate.

I hope my answer was helpful to you!
Kind regards!
