Not on this platform: Establishing with a local doc would be your best plan going forward. All meds should be taken with clear goals, for defined periods of time limited to their efficacy/ side effect ratio. While you may be able to fill and bridge yourself to until getting to see a physician, your best long term plan is having your treatment supervised.

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.

Hi doctors. I blood pressure medications, Losartan 100 mg & Metoprolol ER 100 mg. At the nephrologist my blood pressure was 120/70. At the cardiologist a week later it was 145/80. I often get variable numbers. Is this variability in readings normal?
