Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are mostly having COPD (chronic obstructive pulmonary disease). And hypertension is common in COPD patients.
So you should not stop antihypertensive drugs.
You should continue antihypertensive drugs along with inhalers for COPD.
So better to consult your doctor and get done blood pressure monitoring and ecg.
You have to take antihypertensive drug to control your blood pressure.
Once your blood pressure is controlled, you will improve and your all symptoms will disappear.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
