At 10 weeks I had whole body numbness , extreme fatigue and palpitations.Consulted general physician he checked my BP ,it was high and asked me take BP medicine again.Consulted neurologist for body numbness and anxiety.He suggested some blood and urine test,brain MRI and 2D echo,all reports were normal.he gave medicine for that and asked me to continue BP medicine.My BP is normal from past 2 months,Consulted neurologist again if I can stop BP medicine,he says My BP is chronic now and I need to continue medicine lifelong. I never had high BP before , does postpartum BP doesn't subside. Kindly suggest.

A physical consultation is required. It is not a question of BP being chronic or acute. The point is that we have to decide what is the minimum dose of medicine that is required.
