What Causes Fluctuations In The BP Level Despite Taking Losartan And Carvedilol?

Have long history of hyper tension including two open heart surgeries. I m taking 2 loser tan (100mg) and 2 carvedilol (6.25 mg) per day. Morning bp usually 130+ / 90+ but after morning meds the bp drops to 110+/ 70+ but by late afternoon or early evening the bp climbs to 160+ / 100+ ( how knows what it drops to during the night)? Would you suggest additional meds in afternoon. Is there a med that is slow release or one that has a longer lasting effect. Have carried extended record of BP to Dr and he says I m worrying to much only take bp several times a week and forget about it. I m worried that this elevated pressure will cause damage

Hi,

Your blood pressure is normal after medicine. Slight variation in blood pressure is common wiyhin same day.

Even intra observer variation is also there. So no need to worry. Its not fluctuating too much.

Continue with your medicine and go for regular checking of blood pressure. Take treatment accordingly.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
