Drug or error: You really need to see your doctor as soon as possible . Firstly, it is not good to have BP of 196/101- you're probably hospitalized for that. Secondly, it is not good to have such a drop in less tha 24 hours period. That only can happen if you take too much/too high dose of antihypertension drug or , it is a wrong measurement- either due to the machine fault or human error. Go to see your doctor.

See your doctor now: With these kinds of symptoms and their persistent nature, it's best if you see your doctor. He/she will listen to you, do an examination, possibly run some tests and let you know what's going on.
