Dear I can understand your concern
Your blood pressure is well within normal limit without any medicine then why are you taking this . before staring any antihypertensive first we have to be sure whether you are diagnosed with hypertension or not.for that your blood pressure should be above normal range on at least 3 occasions over a 1 week period . If you have anxiety or stress these has to be managed accordingly and not by antihypertensive .
The drug you are taking has lot of side effects as well. This may cause fatigue and heaviness in head.so discuss with your physician whether it is must to take this or not.
If you have borderline hypertension then this can be managed by certain lifestyle modifications such as salt and saturated fat restricted diet that is rich in vegetables and fruits .maintaining your BMI less than 25 and doing regular exercise . Hope this will help.
