Hi,
It is not advisable to restart drugs for BP without a physician consultation.
Your situation may be different today and the present BP may not make those drugs a good choice despite having been used them some time ago and can result inserious problems like hypotension.
If your doctor is not available, you can visit a new doctor.
Hope this helped.
