What Causes Extreme Swings In Blood Pressure?
I have been having extreme swings in my blood pressure. For example, my pressure was 228/112 on monday 1:30 A.M. This was confirmed by 2 different readings from 2 different machines. Less than 1 hour later, 2:22 A.M., it was 152/ 93 ! This seems to occur on a regular basis, although not at these high levels ! Any idea what might be happening ?

Hi
Postural variation of BP is seen in many conditions
Also episodic hypertension is also a well known entity
Both are clinically significant
You need further evaluation
Thank you
