Hi,
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic,

After going through your history,you are having Hypertension(High blood pressure), I am glad that you responded to treatment and you blood pressure reading is in desirable range, Amlodipine is good drug for high blood pressure.

Please continue to take medicine regularly along with certain life style changes like take less salt
Other drug is Escitalopram is antianxiety and antidepressant medicine used to reduce comorbid anxiety,You can discuss with your treating Physician regarding this.

Please continue to do periodic medical check up and modification of treatment if required.

Hope this helps.
Take care.
Good Luck.
