Hello.
I can very well understand your concern.
Well BP management is a continuous process, one need to take medicine on regular basis. Too BP readings can fluctuates on daily basis, if your BP is 120/70 while you are on BP medicine then you need to take medicine regularly.
Here i suggest you to know the cause of high BP. Have moderate amount of salt and oily stuff in your diet. Do atleast 30 minutes of leasure walking, that will help you control your BP.
Hope it helped.
