Can A Person Withdraw From Medications While Having Normal Blood Pressure?

I m on meds for high blood pressure, it s been a year now, last week however I felt dizzy and checked my bp and was 95/55. The morning after it was still on the low range, 107/65. Its been 4 days since I took the last pill ( the pharmacist told me to not take it until see my dr, . I ve been feeling good, not dizzy... And the Bp has been around the same ... Could be possible that I simply don t need it anymore?

General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Dear sir, To stop medicine without Doctor's advice is not at all recommended. What you should do is see your doc as soon as possible because you definitely needs a dose adjustment or change of drug,after monitoring your BP for a week your physician may stop the medicine too,but that depends on physician's discretion only.Keep a sharp vigil on your BP pattern by recording it twice daily.Follow healthy diet and exercise routine and see you doctor on regular interval.
Thanks and regards.
