Hello,
Your diastolic blood pressure is still very high as it is 110 now.Your symptoms of headache and discomfort is because of high diastolic blood pressure.
You must consult your doctor and get a revision of prescription where either the dose is increased or some additional medicine is added.
Also get other investigations like lipid profile,thyroid function tests and diabetic status done.
Do regular exercises and bring your weight in the required range of BMI.
You may require couple of visits to your doctor for proper adjustment of your anti hypertensive medicines.
Thanks
