Hello,

Usually BP does vary in standing, sitting and lying down position by a few mm. However, if the variations are too big plus there are any symptoms felt like giddiness or light headedness and palpitations (pounding heart beat), then it is better if you can visit a doctor in the ER. There is no mention of whether you are taking any medications for high BP if yes what are those. Because if need be the dosage of that medication could be increased so that BP is well controlled, till your appointment date comes. Best is please do visit an ER.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Prabhakar Laxman Jathar, Diabetologist
