My blood pressure had been staying controlled with HBP meds but suddenly, over the past two weeks, my blood pressure has been getting as high as 200/125 routinely by late afternoon and I have to take an extra blood pressure pill to get it back down. What could be causing this? I had quadruple by-pass surgery in 2005 and had 3 stents put in in 2008. I just have completed some heart tests, one being a chemical tread mill test, and nothing was found that needed immediate attention.
