General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Thanks for putting your query over here.
What I would like to recommend you is in case of hypertension,you need to take the prescribed medications timely anyhow and do regular follow up with your treating doctor for the assessment of your BP status and hypertension complications.
You can't take the medications by yourself anytime and then discontinue or continue it.If because of any unavoidable reasons,you couldn't be compliant with your medication,just make up your mind to visit back your treating doctor,talk about your problems so that he/she can make a new plan of action for you.Experimenting with drugs without expert consultation is dangerous.
Besides have a healthy lifestyle,regular exercise,just brisk walking for 30 minutes for 4-5 times in a week would help.Have a balanced diet including many fruits and vegetables.Avoid salty and processed food.Remove some free time from your work for yourself and family to relax.
Thanks and regards.
