Suggest remedy for fluctuating BP due to a concussion
Patient: I have post concussion syndrom,my blood pressure is raising and lowering from 190/100 in the morning to 160/86 during the day I m on blood pressure meds and it s been increased but I don t seem to stabalize, my concussion happened 3 1/2 weeks ago they did a cat scan of my head and neck,how long can all this go on Doctor: Hello,  I would explain that these blood pressure fluctuations are not very common after concussion.   For this reason, I would recommend checking thyroid hormone levels for thyroid gland dysfunction and some other blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, ESR, kidney and liver function tests).   Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.  Regards, Dr. Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
