I'm a bit concerned about my medication. I've been on it for 2 years now, and while I'm currently not having any issues with blood pressure or heart rate, I'm wondering if I should stop taking it to steer clear of any potential side effects. What's your advice on this?

It is recommended to consult with your healthcare provider to discuss the possibility of gradually tapering off the medication under their supervision. The specific medication and dosage will determine the appropriate tapering schedule to minimize any potential withdrawal symptoms or adverse effects.
