What Causes Extreme Fluctuations In Blood Pressure Levels?

I am glad it is down but want to know if something could be wrong?
If you are on blood pressure medication, dropping to teens is really good. Don't stop the medicine by yourself without any supervision. It may shoot up, it will be detrimental then.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
