Why Having Fluctuating Blood Pressure And Should I Be Concerned?
I have fluctuating hypertension anywhere from 178/98 to 110/68 within a few hours. I m on Verapamil 24 bid, Coreg .25 bid and Lisinopril 10 mg bid for hypertension. I used to have very labile hypertension and it would get upwards of 280/160 at times. I was dx d with CRPS eventually, which seems to have affected my autonomic system. I have bouts of not feeling well and then my BP will be doing this. Should I be concerned? When is hypertension a medical emergency?

Hi i did review your condition.
Labile hypertension and bouts of not feeling well can be due to pheochromocytoma a lesion of adrenal gland. It can be diagnosed by presence of metabolites of epinephrine in urine and a MRI scan of abdomen,
If you have not undergone this testing I would advice you to undergo the same.
CRPS generally does not cause labile hypertension.
I hope this helps
Wish you all the best.
