Is It Safe To Stop Inderal While Blood Pressure Is Under Control?

I am 51 years old.My weight is 63kg and height 5'.
I am not a BP patient. I ate one day food items high in salt and oil .After two days I got giddiness and checked my blood pressure in local clinic.It was very high 180/100.
Doctor gave me tablet Inderal 40mg and asked me to take morning and night 1/2 tab.Now my blood pressure is normal and the doctor has asked me to stop the medicine. Is it ok or I have to continue with the medicine.Now I go fo walk regularly and also avoid eating salt and oily items

Hello sir,
The information regarding present blood pressure reading is missing. In the absence of that, I would assume that your doctor has made a decision looking at your blood pressure going down may be below normal.
You can stop the drug as indicated by your physician. I would recommend you to have regular blood pressure measurements, follow ups and report immediately if you have any symptoms of giddiness or headache.
I also appreciate your effort in including lifestyle changes. It goes a long way in addressing the problems of high blood pressure.
Hope the above information helps you. Thanks for writing into healthcaremagic. Have a wonderful day ahead.
