Hi welcome to HCM.
Improper dose of medications can result in frequent blood pressure fluctuations in the hypertensives.Slow upward dose escalation can cause accurate reduction in blood pressure.restriction in the intake of salt can cause modest reduction in blood pressure.A screening 2 dimensional echocardiography can help to rule out organic heart lesions.Consult your cardiologist for further queries.
Thank you
