Unrelated: It is understandable with the time proximity to link appropriate treatment of hypertension to a possible cause of your new abdominal pain. They are likely unrelated. However get in to see your doc right away. Possible diagnoses include gallbladder, hernia, colon, and several more. Good luck.

Maybe: Don't discontinue without seeing your doctor. It may be unrelated.
