I've never had blood pressure issues outside of pregnancy either but I had severe pre-eclampsia with my first baby and moderate pre-eclampsia with my second. Both times I was put on medication (Hydralazine and Clonidine) and both times my BP went back to normal.
With my first, I think it took a few months after the birth for it to get back to normal (I can't remember exactly how long) and after having my son last August, it took about a month for it to get back to normal and remain stable. I haven't had it checked for a while now, but as far as I know it is fine. Well, I feel fine anyway!
I hope the Aldomet gets your BP back under control too. All the best!
Edited to add: I thought I would also just mention that I'm no longer on the medication. Once my BP was under control, I stopped taking the tablets and it stayed stable on it's own.
