Hello
After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that as it’s been a long time that you are taking anti hypertensives so there are chances that your blood pressure can go up if you stop them.
However I would like to know how was your blood pressure levels when you started with the medicine. Was it high or was it started just because of family history?
Kind Regards
