Welcome to hcm,
Short answer you may need two or three anti hypertensive medications
Detailed answer blood pressure or hypertension has to be controlled by
1 good night sleep
2 medications
3 yoga or some mind relaxing exercises
4 fat free and salt free diet
Every thing mentioned above has to be performed for better results
This persistent hypertension when not treated will lead to stroke or brain hemorrhage. Which are much more difficult to treat
Consult your physician and get anti hypertensive medications.
check your renal function urea and creatinine.
Hope this explains
