Hello
Hydrochlorothiazide is prescribed to reduce high blood pressure.
If you were taking it for reduction of high BP,then sudden withdrawal might have resulted in increasing your BP.
Since you are also suffering from inferior wall ischemia,you should take some medicine for that.Without any medication
You may aggravate your ischemia and BP,so you should consult some cardiologist and take medications to protect your heart.
