Query related to Hypertension

Question

Asked for Female, 66 Years

My mother had covid29 in month of January, it was severe and she was in ICU for a week with non intensive ventilation. She recovered in a month and after that she is fine. She had hypertension from last 6 years, and was taking olmat20mg. But during and after recovery from covid19 her BP was normal and medicine was stopped. I just want to ask whether stoping the BP medicine could impact her health and can increase the chance of any heart related issues. Checking her BP regularly and it is usually 120-130 and 70-80 for upper and lower bp. Her cholesterol level is 215 and ldl is 158. Please suggest if I need to go for any tests.
