A member asked:
My bp is 120/70 on 50mg losartan but still spikes to 192/95 occasionally. i believe it's due to adrenaline. is a beta blocker a better option?

120/70 .. 192/95: How often does this happen? Is it related to diet, alcohol, physical activity. If the value is 192/95 frequently enough to worry you, you must see a cardiologist. Hope all goes well and please keep me informed.
