Your post treatment near normal reading at 3 months was a result of medication and hence the need of antihypertensive medicine was established and should not have been stopped. You should continue the medicines under supervision and monitoring by your physician. Restrict salt in your diet and don't think too much about this, because this may make you stressful raising the BP, pushing you in a vicious cycle of things.
