My mom bp med is not lowering her bp but instead the blood checkup after taking it reveals as opposed to before, she is now running low on vitamin d & b12 as well as her thyroid is on edge. should she abruptly stop taking it; hydrochlorothiazide 25mg?

BP: Would talk to your doctor before stopping your BP medication. However, if your moms D3 low take 3000 to 5000 IU D3 and Bucal or sublingual B12. Also consider magnesium glycinate 400 mg two times daily.
