This blood pressure is very high. You will have to continue medicine. No stopping. Target blood pressure below 130/90.

Your BP is above stage 2. You will need medicines for that. It's a hereditary problem and there is no cure for it. Please do not stop medicines. Lifestyle modifications may bring down BP meds doses but won't be able to stop them
