Brief Answer:
It is normal to fluctuate

Detailed Answer:
Hi again

BP normally fluctuates lot more than yours is fluctuating.

I can see that your systolic BP is constant while diastolic is fluctuating for first two readings. While in third reading systolic is fluctuating. I don't know which medicine you are on. But if it makes you lose water and you are not drinking water, then it may cause BP to fluctuate. That is body's way of dealing with dehydration and is still within normal limits.

Subutex

Yes subutex can cause low blood pressure. But your blood pressure is still in normal range. Even fluctuations are normal. So nothing to worry.
