What Causes Elevated Blood Pressure Levels?
I just took my blood pressure and it was 176/99. Yesterday at lunch it was 199/91 and has been fluctuating from then till now with top staying above 170 and bottom above 90. I take losartan once a day and verapamil 4 times a day. Had 5 stints put in October 2015. Should I see my cardiologist.

Hello,
Yes, see your cardiologist as soon as possible. Anyone with heart disease needs to make sure there blood pressure is always below 140/90. Your medication needs to be adjusted. In the mean time avoid all salt, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol.
