My normal BP is usually 140-160, but last year noticed I was getting spikes to185. I did not notice any correlation with time of day. My cardiologist and nephrologist both prescribed hydralazine about 6 months ago and I have seen fewer spikes and none above170. My situation is quite different from your husband's--87 years old, AFib, no pacemaker--but hydralazine may be worth discussing with your doctor. By the way, I continue my other BP medications including Bystolic, diltiazem, Plavix.

Hello
my husband is also on hydralazine- He takes one 25 mg Tablet 4 times daily. (100 mg daily) . He would prefer to take it twice a day. Lately his numbers are high. I’d love to hear from you- What is your husbands dosage per day? how often does he take it ? Is he on other BP meds? I don’t know anyone on hydralazine, so it’s nice to connect with you. Grachi

Also did dr mention anything about having blood labs drawn periodically while on hydralazine? Grachi
