Detailed Answer:
Hello!

Welcome back on - Ask a Doctor - service!

I understand your concern and would like to explain that considering your age your blood pressure values seem to be OK.

Those slight BP fluctuations are clinically irrelevant. As you are taking Amiodarone, I recommend to check your thyroid gland function by dosing thyroid hormones, chest X ray study, liver function tests for possible Amiodarone toxicity and periodic ophthalmological control to investigate for potentia locular deposiits.

Hope to have been helpful to you and clarified your issues of concern!

In case of any further questions, feel free to ask me again.

Kind regards,

Dr. Iliri
