Hi welcome to HCM
YOU should continue with your current medications to keep your BP under control.you should never stop it.If you stop your medications it will create overload on your heart and leads to heart failure.continuous monitoring of BP with periodic checkup of lipid profile,ECG,2Dimensional echo,complete blood picture.low salt diet and high protein diet with intake of fruits will be helpful.consult your cardiologist for follow up and medication for every 2months.
Thankyou
