By : By the date of this post almost a week has passed. I will assume that your grandmother has seen or spoken with her doctor. If not she must do so immediately. For the future, if her BP rises that high, along with having symptoms (in her case she had severe headache and nausea). This is reason to take her to the urgent care or at least give a call in to her doctor for instruction. It sounds like your grandmother needs a change in her treatment plan in order to lower her bp. All the best.

Doctor prescribed 50mg Losartan potassium daily to lower blood pressure. Blood pressure fluctuates a lot recently (very high/very low daily). Should she take the medication also when blood pressure is normal? We cannot reach doctor during pandemic.
