Dear patient,

Thanks for the query. It is not advisable to stop the medications on your own; you may have high blood pressure and if that is the case, the medications are needed to regulate it to normal levels. I would encourage you to talk to your provider, to confirm if you will need these medications on a chronic basis, or whether there are things you can do such as weight loss and exercise, to decrease the amount of medication you need.

You are young, so secondary causes of high blood pressure should be sought.

Hope that helps, wish you the best,
