: Your BP is poorly controlled. I do recommend a visit to the ER in view of your drop in BP,apparent weakness &amp; shortness of breath. EKG,chest xray, O2 sat,&amp;appropriate lab work should be performed. Eventually a cardiologist should look into your resistant hypertension &amp; adjust your medications to attain a goal of 130/80 or lower.
