Is your blood pressure 140/80 with or without the medication? If it's without, what's the risk of stopping the med to see if it helps your counts? You can monitor you BP at home. There are so many other BP meds out there you can try and since your BP is not really high, I would look for the least offensive med.
I personally feel that if a medicine says it can cause low counts, then it's worth exploring your options. Whether it's a new med, life style changes or diet/nutrients, there's a good chance you find an alternative.
