Hypertension Tests Guidance

2017-07-20 16:32:33
I am currently under medications for Hpertension for the past 5 years. Currently taking Zilance 40 and Ciplar 10. The random blood pressure reading is 140/100 and goes to around 160/100 at times. Current symptoms include excessive sweating, palpitations, anxiety, headaches, flushing and fatigueness. My ECG test and Kidney Renal Doplar tests are normal. Today I have been prescribed for Metanephrine and VMA 24 hours urine tests by the cardiologist. I am also on anti-psychotic medications for depression for the past 10 years. Need your advise and guidance on the tests prescribed.
