Hello,
With the question “Is unstable blood pressure dangerous? , the doctor would like to answer as follows:
Based on the monitored number, this is a state of fluctuating blood pressure, possibly due to psychology, but has been taking antihypertensive drugs, making the assessment unbiased. According to the doctor, first of all, it is necessary to do a blood pressure test, measuring blood pressure 24 hours (Holter blood pressure) to see if it is really high blood pressure? (the specific number of blood pressure, when to increase – does it increase at night when sleeping, how much it increases, ...) Then it is indicated whether to use antihypertensive drugs or not, which type is appropriate for this condition. ?
In the immediate future, if you can't do it, you should use sedatives and Magnesium b6.
If you still have questions about unstable blood pressure, you can go to a hospital of Vinmec Health System for further examination and advice. Thank you for trusting and sending questions to Vinmec. Wish you a lot of health.
