My name is Mark. I have had a 4.7cm ascending thoracic aortic anuerism since 2016. I am 63 years old and I recently had afib issues which resulted in having an ablation on 5/13/26. Since the surgery I have been having anxiety and it has raised my BP into the 140/80 to 155/89 range. These readings are almost always during my morning readings. I work out 6 days a week and I have been trying to keep my BP in a good range. I take 25mg losartin twice a day. My blood pressure is usually in the good range other than the morning readings. I wake up sometimes very early in the morning because of headaches only to find my BP is high. Does anyone have similar issues?

@mark5284 I struggled with the right combination of BP pills for awhile. Doctors were conflicted on the right ones to use. Eventually they got the right combination, but the first doctor was not the one that came up with it. Good luck! Don't give up the search.
