Brief Answer:
Less likely to be related to it
Detailed Answer:
her symptoms are less likely to be related to medicine and we need to seek alternate reason for same. If review assessment with physician is normal and baseline blood tests come back normal, then there can be room for stopping the starcad but it needs substitute which has to be started. as in its absence her bp was very high just stopping will not suffice
