How is random spiking blood pressure treated? bp meds drop it too low. it's usually normal but spikes at random.
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Random BP spikes: Random or occasional elevations in blood pressure are not usually treated unless they are associated with symptoms such as blurred vision, stroke, heart failure or renal failure. Even with these symptoms the pressure should be lowered slowly and carefully.
