Hello,
Thanks for posting in HCM.
I would advice you against stopping the medication on your own.
The reduction in BP which you are seeing now is because of the medications. If you withdraw the meds then your BP might again go high.
There is a way of reducing the bp medications which is to be done gradually and seeing whether bo stays in normal range with reduced doses.
I would like to advice you that try need to modify your lifestyle like weight reduction, moderate regular exercise so as to reduce your medications.
Keep in touch with your doctor and he wil surely withdraw your meds if you are not needing them to keep your BP under control.
I hope i have answered your query well. if you have any more query kindly write back to me will be happy to answer them.
Thank you
