Cardiologist, Dr. Ilir Sharka's Response

Hello,

I would explain that these blood pressure fluctuations are quite normal due to the pain and arthritis medicines, which may lead to raising in blood pressure values.

So, there is no reason to worry about blood pressure values.

I recommend consulting with a rheumatologist in order to help treat arthritis.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
