Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hi, Welcome to HCM,
Since your blood pressure has come down, you can stop one medicine, maybe clonidine and re-check blood pressure after 3 days and revert back.
You can continue lisinopril, toprol and diuretic.
We can take it from there.
However it will help if you also tell me the dose of each medicine.
Please revert back.
Regards
