I would sit tight with your current medical regimen if your average BP is 110/70 unless you're experiencing symptoms of lightheadedness, fatigue or shortness of breath with exertion.

IF this has been for several months then discuss with your Dr. You should also move to DASH eating plan which will lower need for meds in many. Discuss.
