Do Nausea And Fluctuating BP Need Medical Attention?
My husband has awakened with nausea, by of 175/ 99 , has dropped now in minutes to 158/83. Started blood pressure meds two days ago. Does this warrant me to take him to the nearest hospital, or should I wait to see if his pressure continues to drop? He has no chest pain. Only throbbing headache and blood pressure. We live in a rural area 12 miles from hospital. He takes no medication and up to two days ago no medicines. Can you advise me?
