Hello again,
Thanks for the details...
Taking into consideration all the previous and current medical history it’s not advisable that you should stop your medications completely because chances of having a sudden relapse of high blood pressure are high which can lead to a situation of medical emergency.
I would suggest you discuss this with your primary physician and even after that if you want to discontinue the medication then you need to monitor your blood pressure daily along with strict healthy lifestyle habits.
Hope this information will guide you properly. Let me know if I can assist you further.
