So here's the criteria for drivers not taking medications:
Blood pressure under 140/90: 2-year card
Blood pressure higher than 140/90 but less than160/100: 1 year.
Blood pressure at 160/100 or higher: 3-month for one time only.
Yours fall under 3-month rule, unless you can bring the bottom number to below 100.
I would recommend you get treated to less than 140/90 prior to getting an exam.
