Hello
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
If you are already on antihypertensive medicine then you need to continue it, if you are having some doubt then you can discuss this with your physician but do not stop the medication, again if you are in hospital or prescribed the medicine after the stroke then it is advisable to keep continue the prescribe drugs.
Hope I have answered your query, let me know for further assistance.
