Cardiologist 's  Response
Hi i read your query very carefully.

Yes the hypertension is coming back and you have to start taking your BP medication again. But i suggest consulting your cardiologist first. Don't begin the old therapy by your self because this may cause serious problem to your health.

Hope it was of help!
