Detailed Answer:
Welcome To HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I understand your concern.
Weight loss and life style modifications definitely reduce your blood pressure and that happened with you.
I congratulate you for the achievement.
You don't need medicine at this point of time at this blood pressure.
Carry on with good exercises, low salt diet and keep monitoring your blood pressure.
If it goes beyond 140/90 then you would need medicine that too in low dosages.
I hope it helps you.
If you have any further query, please ask me.

If you may suggest the medicine and dosage in case I need if bp crosses 140/90. How frequently I should take such medicine?
