Good Afternoon. I Am On My 4th Low Dosage High

Good afternoon.
I am on my 4th low dosage high blood pressure medicine and I have had side affects. I am currently taking Losartan Potassium 25 MG. I have been taking this for a month and a half. My blood pressure has been running about 130/78 on this Medicine which is much lower than what it was. The last couple of days i had some shortness of breath, headache and my BP was 168/90. I cannot get into my Dr until Monday. I did not take the pill today and am feeling much better. BP is 138//78, other symptoms are gone. Will it hurt to not take the pill again until Monday or should I take it tomorrow? I have been under a lot of stress lately so maybe it was due to that? I guess my question is ...does it hurt to just stop taking this medication if my BP does not get too high?
