Will Taking Ablation Causing An Elevation In BP Levels?

After having SVT since the 1980 s, I decided to have an ablation procedure last July. I had been taking 20mg of fosinopril daily for several years to keep my B/P low. Within 30 days after the ablation procedure, my B/P began increasing to the point of being worrisome. Doctor doubled fosinopril to 40 mg but it didn t reduce my B/P. He then added 2.5 mg of Amlopidine which, combined with the 40 mg fosinopril now controls my B/P. I do not understand and he could not explain to me why my B/P became so elevated after the ablation procedure. Is there an explanation? Thank you.

hello,i have gone through your query.Thanks for using HCM.Basically ablation procedure bears no relation to elevated blood pressure.In your case to find its explanation is bit difficult.But i have observed in many of patients that over period of years requirements of medicines go up to maintain target BP.So it might be case which is natural history of disease in many patients and post ablation elevatioin is coincidence
I would also suggest you to check kidney functions and renal doppler study to rule our development of new factor responsible for elevation of blood pressure.This may need attention,
My best wishes
