Suggest Medication For 160/90 Or 150/10

yes, I was diagnose with high blood today because my pressure has been high for the last two months 160/90 or 150/10. I never had any problems with my blood pressure it always been 120/80 or 110/70.I 'm 48 years old I've always was careful about what I eat and exercise as well. I believe it could be mental stress as well. My doctor prescribe me some medication for the pressure, and also water pills, I would like to eventually get off the medication as so as possible............

P.S. I want to be naturally healthy, what do you suggest?
