you should continue the drug prescribed by your doctor .
but as you are young i would suggest you to rule out following secondary causes of hypertension -
hyperthyroidism
renal artery stenosis
other endocrinal disorders related to high bp if you have other symptoms.
i would suggest you following-
get your LDL level checked and start drug to lower it, if found elevated.
avoid sedentary lifestyle.
do daily exercise atleast for 30 minutes.
avoid oily and junk foods.
take food full of fibres like vegetables,salad and fruits .
thankyou and take care.
