I am a 72 year old female, 5′7″, 133 lbs. I am in reasonably good health but am on Actonel for bone density loss. For several months now my blood pressure will suddenly rise to as high as 210/124 and last for several minutes then gradually decrease to somewhers around 130/80. This happens once or twice a day at different times but never when I am sleeping. Usually when I am sitting down. Sometime I may go several days without an episode. If I get up and rub my abdomen or lay down and rub it the pressure seems to come down within five or six minutes of peaking. My Dr. has me on Toporol XL 25mg twice a day, but I don’t believe that this is working to do anything. Pulse rate stays between 65 and 80. Dr. either can’t find anything or has no idea what is causing this.

My BP is sometimes 150/94 about 10% of the time and 33& of the time is about 129/84 and then most of the time is 120/72. I also see a change in my pulse. My normal resting pulse was about 45 and now in ranges from 65 to 85 and seems to follow my BP. I have just recovered from a mild brain injury. I had a subdural hematoma
