Is Further Investigation Required For Varying Blood Pressure?
My husband is 31 years old, 6'1", about 190-195 lbs. He took his blood pressure this morning twice due to feeling "strange". The first reading was 153/104, the second was 180/113. He is calling our Dr., but is there anything else we should be doing?

DEAR USER
THANKS FOR CONSULTING AT HCM
I UNDERSTAND YOUR CONCERN OF FLUCTUATING BP.. SUCH A HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE AT A YOUNG AGE IS OBVIOUSLY A CONCERN
YOUR HUSBAND NEEDS TO BE INVESTIGATED BY
CAROTID AND RENAL ARTERY DOPPLER.. IF POSSIBLE A URINE CATECHOLAMINE LEVEL MAY BE REQUIRED TO RULE OUT PHEOCHROMOCYTOMA
YOU CAN CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR AND CONSIDER THE ABOVE INVESTIGATION TO RULE OUT CAUSES OF SECONDARY HYPERYENSION
HOPE I HAVE ANSWERED YOUR QUESTION.. YOU CAN MESSAGE ME FOR ANY FURTHER CONCERNS
