My blood pressure is fluctuating and sometimes goes very high despite taking my medication. Since I had an angiography last month, what should I do, and do I need to change my blood pressure medicine?
It is not uncommon to experience some blood pressure fluctuations after a recent angiography, but persistent high readings require professional evaluation. Please do not alter or stop your blood pressure medication on your own, as this can be unsafe. I recommend keeping a daily log of your blood pressure readings taken at the same times each day. Contact your cardiologist or doctor promptly to share this log; they can safely decide if you need a dosage adjustment or a different class of medication. If your high blood pressure is accompanied by chest pain, shortness of breath, or severe headaches, please seek immediate medical attention.
