Hi,
Such fluctuations in blood pressure, alongside other symptoms needs endocrine work up specially thyroid profile as well as urine for catecholamines to rule out pheochromocytoma. Baseline serum electrolytes should be done and preferably endocrinologist review may be helpful. If these are unremarkable sugar levels and cortisol levels may be needed.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further. Wishing you a speedy recovery.
