My couple of cents worth here for whatever it is worth as I am not a doctor is to keep riding, even the trainer in the basement/garage helps the BP. Mine BP has gone way down since I can ride more consistently. I admit getting out of where I used to work and doing p/t consulting has helped as the pressure to always turn work over the minute it arrives has gone away. I am on a simple low dose of amlodipine beseylyte (5 mg), but may go off it as my BP is low enough. In my opionion, watch these docs they love to overprescribe medication as I had a similar problem and bad side effects from statins before I told them to screw off on statins. Good luck.
