Suggest Treatment To Reduce High Blood Pressure

I went off my high blood pressure medication for 2 weeks. I measured it while off the medication and it read 154/101. I decided to take my blood pressure medication and it now reads 158/101 mornings and evenings 154/95. I really don t see a difference. Is my medication working?
