Brief Answer:
You need to continue Minipress.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Greetings from Dr.Divakara.P
Thanks for choosing HealthcareMagic.

See your BP is 150/80 because of your medication , that is both Arbitel and Minipress. If any one of the medication is stopped and the dosage is reduced your BP will definitely go high. So I advise you to continue both Arbitel and Minipress.

If you are having any side effects or Intolerance to Minipress , kindly let me know . In that case I will give you a substitute and then stop Minipress.

Also I noticed in your report that your Hemoglobin is low . Reports are pointing towards Iron deficiency. I advise you to get Iron Profile test and revert back .

Hope you find this information useful.

Any clarifications feel free to ask.

Regards.
