Hi i do care for your condition.
The blood pressure will fluctuate according to a persons current behaviour, whether calm agitated etc.
But it will not vary to the extent that you have mentioned.
I would advise to take at least 5 readings every 2 hours apart in a single day to confirm the correct blood pressure.
And then taking medicines according to result will definitely help.
Hope i have answered your question, if you have more feel free to ask.
Thank you.
