Hi,
Stopping your BP tablets without doctors suggestion is a wrong thing to do. Stopping BP tablets put you on many risks. One of them being brain hemorrhage. Bleeding in brain which is called hemorrhagic stroke. Never stop your BP medicine without your doctor who examines you and knows your daily values suggests you to stop your BP medicine.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Jasmine Jagan, General & Family Physician
