The Naked Truth asked:


The person in question is female, small in stature, and 78 years old with no known conditions other than osteoporosis. Recently she has been experiencing attacks of alternating hypertension and hypotension, and her doctor doesn’t have a clue, although he has confirmed that she has not yet had a stroke.

By high blood pressure I’m talking about 190/112 which triggers a trip to the emergency room, then the next day or later in the day it will be extremely low, below normal.
