My son has a pacemaker and his blood pressure is spiking daily, his medication has been changed and increased within the past 2 weeks, but he takes an emergency pill to lower his blood pressure and has to take it daily.
He is a truck driver and it is critical his blood pressure be within the CDL guidelines, but seems no one has answers as to what is causing this blood pressure issues. Hoping for some advice from someone that might have the same issues. He goes back to the heart doctor this week but we are skeptical about whether they have answers, meds have been changed twice within two weeks, but still not correcting the blood pressure spikes.
Any information would be helpful.

My BP is finally under control taking medication twice a day instead of only once a day. Evidently unusual recommendation as can't enter that on the Medic Alert website- can't enter twice daily.
