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?

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Please note that your husband has to take medicines regularly. Ask him to avoid smoking and alcohol. Also advised to cut salt. Do not worry , his blood pressure will not continue falling as it will stabilize at an optimum level.
