Blood Pressure

In Feb'26  I got stressed out and became very anxious. I was put on Concor 2.5mg. All test 2D Echo and ECG were done and normal. Then at the same time I developed a UTI infection and after I got better I was put on Concor 5T as in the doctor office my BP went 150/100 whereas at home it has been 115-145/72-86 in that range, Now my BP is always between 110-118/62-76. I have been taking Concor 5T since a month now. Can I reduce and completely stop the medication as I never had BP before in my life, only during the time of my anxiousness it went up and only whenever my BP is checked at a doctor's place it goes up with the fear.

Possible bat or anything

Yesterday i post about while I was sitting on a back seat of a  riding bike at night. Something black colour thing came from above floor level and touch my cheeks and went. And there was no bite and scratch and pain. So i doubt if it was a bat exposure, most of the doctors here  said that i should get vaccinated. But I consult two physician doctors here in Bangalore and they said my face is ok and don't suggest any vaccine. Since I am concerned about the doctor's opinions here and the two consult doctors opinions, i am very nervous. What should I do ? Should I take the vaccine as the incident was on Sunday night around 9 o clock. My family not supporting to take vaccine as no Mark found.
