A member asked:
My grandma is 87 years with heart problems and her blood pressure went from 90/55 to 185/83. is there something going on that needs to be checked?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple causes: It could be primary hypertension. However, testing should be done to exclude renovascular hypertension due to an occluded renal artery, a pheochromocytoma or some other unusual tumor-related cause. Blood and urine tests, ultrasound/doppler tests and vascular imaging tests can clarify the underlying cause.
