Why Is My Blood Pressure Fluctuating?

I am 50 years old and my height is 5 feet 2 inches and I weigh 182 pounds. I have not had any previous problems with high blood pressure. However three days ago I woke up dizzy and not feeling myself kinda like a druggie feeling. I went today to get checked out and my blood pressure was 137 over 96 laying down and standing up. The doctor prescribed blood pressure medincine at the lowest dosage. I had a doctor check me out about 9 days ago and I had a reading of 125 over 85 what happen with in 6 days

Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your blood pressure is normal after medicine. Slight variation in blood pressure is common wiyhin same day. Even intra observer variation is also there. So no need to worry. Its not fluctuating too much. Continue with your medicine and go for regular checking of blood pressure. Take treatment accordingly.
Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using health care magic. Wish you a very good health.
