Why Is My BP High And Fluctuating?

My blood pressure has been high and fluctuating alot plus my chest has been hurting. My doctor gave me a new bp med yesterday, but not really working. I also have so much gas. I also find that if I press my left armpit area under my bra, I can release a lot of gas, what should I do?

Hi,
Thanks for asking.
Based on your query, my opinion is as follows.
1. Blood pressure variation is common during start of any new medications and periods of stress. If the blood pressure goes above 180/110, you need to meet your doctor soon.
2. You need to destress yourself. Stress also increases gastritis which is causing you plenty of gas formation.
3. Take medications regularly and try to maintain blood pressure within the normal range. Take low sodium diet, along with normal fiber rich nutritional diet. Do moderate exercises along with weight reduction, it will all be very helpful. Not to worry.
Hope it helps.
Any further queries, happy to help again.
