Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No you should not stop antihypertensive drugs even if your blood pressure is normal.
See, your blood pressure is normal due to antihypertensive drugs. If you atop these drugs, your blood pressure will rise again.
So better not to stop antihypertensive drugs.
Also continue salt restrictions in diet.
Also do regular exercise.
All these will help in control of blood pressure.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
