What Could Cause Rapidly Fluctuation In Blood Pressure Despite Taking Medications?

hello dr., the concern I have is with my mother. she has been having problems with her blood pressure. she is now on 4 different kinds of blood pressure meds. and to no avail it is still going up and down. late in the evening and into early morning her blood pressure goes up to usually 185 or higher over anywhere from 65 to 90. and she will take a clonidine to lower it but it usually takes 3 before any results. she stays up really late cause she scared to go to sleep. none of her dr.s know what to do,they're at a loss,just keep switching her meds around. would love to find her a specialist in immediate area.
