Hello, as your blood pressure is very high, it would not be controlled with lifestyle changes alone, hence you need to start on medication at present, one can slowly consider decreasing dose after a good control is a achieved.
Meanwhile you should start
Exercise 30-45 mins a day atleast 5 times a week
Decrease salt in diet to less than 2-3 gms a day
Consider losing weight and try achieving ideal weight of around 80.
