I've been dealing with high blood pressure, like around 15080, for a bit now, and my doctors assistant put me on Stamlo 10mg twice a day. Over time, they gradually reduced it to 10mg once a day, then to 5mg, then 2.5mg, and finally half of 2.5mg because my BP stabilized. Now my doctor said I could stop taking the meds and just monitor my BP for a week. If it stays normal, I can stop the meds and just focus on a healthy lifestyle. But, if it goes up again, I might have to be on meds for life. Im worried about stopping the meds completelyis it safe to just stop like this? Could it have any serious effects on my health? What do you think?

nothing will happen you follow regular check ups
