Hi,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that stop taking any antihypertensive drugs as for now and monitor your blood pressure around for a week and get an Echocardiograpy done to rule out any heart dysfunction to decide line if treatment. Get back to me or your family physician with your BP chart then we will decide if you need treatment for HTN or not.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Bhanu Partap,
