Hi, Welcome. In some patients bp fluctuates very frequently. At this time stopping one of the bp medicine suddenly can make it to go high again. So its important to not stop it suddenly, but taper the dose & if bp still remains low stop it by tapering. So I'll advice you to continue Coversyl 2.5mg & as the bp fluctuates either way, you can increase or decrease the dose of coversyl. Thanks
