Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
You are fluctuating blood pressure readings.
But consistent part is high diastolic blood pressure (100mmHg).
And this is something, we should definitely treat.
You are also having disturbances in sleep, increased urination, chest discomfort etc.
All these can be seen in hypertension.
You should also rule of diabetes and dyslipidemia because fluctuating blood pressure is associated with these Co morbidities.
So you definitely consult doctor, get done reports for diabetes and dyslipidemia and start treatment accordingly.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
