Yes, the blood you quoted is still in normal - to high normal range, you are on three antihypertensive as you suggested, it is because of the drugs your blood pressure is being controlled, sudden withdrawal will push it to very high range which may precipitate a heart problem or brain attack in worst senior s (of relevance because of your stay) . Rather as you are doing decreasing salt, regular exercise and fish consumption (if available- for its omega acid) Will bring the readings to max less than 140/90 and then we can slowly think of decreasing the dose, till than plz continue with the same and rather increasing it slightly to bring the lower blood pressure less than 85 mm hg
