Suggest Treatment For High BP
What heart conditions could cause my BP to spike (example: 172/93) and then suddenly drop..(92/60). The higher BP is very uncomfortable, and when it drops, just as suddenly.it just wipes me out.. This happens for no reason. I could be relaxing, or active. When the high BP happens, I am unable to even reach for an asperin on my own, til it subsides.. Thank you in advance!

Hello,
After going through your medical query I understand your concern and I would like to tell you that it’s recommended for you to stop all medication you are taking and get an ambulatory BP monitoring done, take low salt diet and consult with your physician personally.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
