It is POSSIBLE: that your doctor may want to adjust the dose of medication you are taking. Do not do this by yourself but please return to your doc for an exam. Peace and good health.

Check again: Go get your BP checked again. Your diet and exercise changes may have improved your BP to the point you no longer need the medicine. Nice work! Good luck!
