Brief Answer:
Labile hypertension
Detailed Answer:
Hello
Thanks for the query
I have had two such patients with such an issue of hypertension being very difficult to treat.
This is what I suggest
1. Most commonly such labile hypertension is due to a secondary cause, in your case it could be renal artery stenosis seconday to atherosclerosis. Please get a renal doppler done
2. I strongly recommend you to under take 24 hour ambulatory bp monitoring for accurate reading
3. Both my patients responded well with ACE/ARB drugs. Now both of them have normal blood pressure
I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me
Regards
