Hi,
With a history of severe hypertension, you should definitely continue the disprin because it would reduce the risk of heart attack or stroke.
If your current medications are not working to help with your blood pressure control, then the doses may need altering if possible or additional medication added. Your doctor may also want to rule out other causes of high blood pressure such as hormonal conditions.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
