BP medications: Your current readings show adequate control on medications. However you will need to work with your doctor to see if you can discontinue the meds. Atenolol especially cannot be stopped abruptly as rebound high blood pressure can occur. Good nutritional practices as well as stress management - e.g. Meditation, restorative yoga, breath work, good sleep hygiene etc will also help a great deal.
