A member asked:
My np put me on simvastatin and i am having spikes in blood pressure. is it possible that is the cause?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Simvastatin is unlikely to cause spikes in blood pressure and an alternate condition appears more likely. It would be also unusual for statin therapy to be started at your age, unless simvastatin replaced a previous statin. Let your prescriber know about your findings so that options can be discussed.
