Hi,
Welcome to health care magic,

The antihypertensive medicine (amlodipine 5 mg) which you are is a good drug to keep blood pressure in normal range.

The normal range of systolic blood pressure is 100 to 130 mmHg and diastolic 60 to 80 mmHg.

Yours reading is 108/64 is completely normal especially when you are on amlodipine.

You can continue with that along with other medications.

Consult your treating physician if you need more information.

Regards,
I find this answer helpful
