What Causes Increased Blood Pressure While Moving?

My mother's blood pressure is 188 over 87 and she is on multiple blood pressure medications. She is also have a lot of fluid build up with this. When she moves around her blood pressure seems to keep going up so she has to stay still. I don't know what to tell her. I told her I would take her to the ER but she doesn't want to go.

Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
In my opinion, your mother is having hypertensive heart failure.
She is having uncontrolled blood pressure. She is also having fluid retention and rise in blood pressure on exertion. So all these favour heart failure due to uncontrolled hypertension.
So better to consult cardiologist and get done blood pressure monitoring, ecg, 2d echo.
She will need diuretic drugs to reduce fluid retention and other cardiac supportive drugs for heart failure.
She may need centrally acting antihypertensive drug.
So better to consult cardiologist and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wishing good health to your mother. Thanks.
