What could cause wildly fluctuating blood pressure ?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Several reasons...: Anxiety, inadequate medication, withdrawl effects from certain medications such as Clonidine which may not be administered frequently enough to last 24 hours and excess salt intake are some of the causes. Rarely conditions such as pheochromocytoma (tumours secreting adrenaline) can cause fluctuating and episodic high blood pressure.

Many things. : Salt intake is number one. Pain. Activity. Hormonal disturbances. Emotional issues. Monitor your BP for a while, keep a record, remember the circumstances, and see your doctor.
