Hello;
Thanks for your query.
The medications you are taking are for blood pressure and babyaspirin as a blood thinner to prevent getting a further heart problems(heart attack).
These medications are to be continued for whole life or till advised by your Cardiologist.
Reducing the dose or stopping may make you prone to get heart problems and increase in blood pressure and related complications.
Hope this answer is helpful to you.
Take care.
