Brief Answer:
Need blood pressure monitoring
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Keeping into consideration your medical history and event of accelerated hypertension and no other significant medical issues in the past it’s advisable to keep a close watch on your blood pressure by measuring it twice a day at fixed time and chart it. Keep the antihypertensive medications on hold if your blood pressure stays below 130/80mmhg on average.
If it goes beyond that start with a 5 mg of amlodipine initially.
Your doctor wants to check the levels of 24 hrs urinary metanephrines to rule out the presence of a rare condition called pheochromocytoma.
Kind Regards
