Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
No, you should not be concerned. You may stop it but need to monitor BP and BP should not be persistently more than 140/90 mmHg. Have low salt diet and regular exercises. Hope this helps you and get back if you have any doubts.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
