I HAVE BEEN HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY BLOOD PRESSURE, IT ALL STARTED WITH NOSE BLEEDS THAT OCCURED USUALLY ONCE A DAY. THEN I STARTED GETTING DIZZY,RINGING IN MY EARS.
MY HUSBAND THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA IF I STSRTED TAKING MY BLOOD PRESSURE WHEN I STARTED FEELING THIS WAY.
I DID,AND THE BOTTOM NUMBER WOULD BE AROUND 100 BUT WOULD DROP WITHIN MINUTES TO AROUND 50. I WOULD GET VERY LIGHT HEADED AND FEEL EXTREMELY WEAK. HAS ANYONE EVER DONE THIS? WHAT CAUSES IT?,, THANKS FOR READING

You most likely have unstable hypertension, or unpredictable high blood pressure. You should go see a doctor as you may need some medication for this condition.

It sounds like you need a different "type" of BP med. As this is/can be very serious, you really need to talk with your dr now. Let him/her know all your symptoms and side effects of the current med. The dr may want further tests or at the very least, to go with another med....THIS IS NOT A NORMAL OR DESIRED OUTCOME OF BP MEDS!!
