I'm a 27 year old male who just undergoed open heart operation. I'm lucky to be alive right now. I was perfectly normal and then all of a sudden it was like a light switch had went off one night. I had a crushing sensation in my chest so I went to the emergency at night. I didn't know what had happened to me. The doctor at night didn't know exactly what was wrong and because I was so young they thought it was nothing serious except that I was hyperventlating. I waited for over an hour before it was my turn, and by that time I saw the doctor my body began to shut down first the lower part of my legs then my arms and then my brain. I just couldn't keep up anymore. As soon as my brain shut down I was done. The doctors did some tests and scans early in the morning as soon as I got up then half an hour later they rushed me to the Operating Room. They transferred me from one hospital to the other so fast I didn't even have time to see my parents before going in. I stayed in the hospital for about a week and everything was fine except my blood pressure. It was constantly 190-200/100 even with the medication they gave me. I was taking so much medication but nothing worked. Then just as I thought I was able to get out of the hospital they told me to stay a bit longer just to control the BP before getting out. Then I thought to myself when will I get out? Luckly they found the right medication and dosage in the afternoon so I was fine then. I was on inderal 160mg 3 times a day, but now 2 times a day. Sorry about the long story. Question is my blood pressure is okay from morning to late afternoon but as soon as 8:00PM to 10:00PM it is higher. What is the reason for this? It goes to 150-160/68 most of the times. I take my medication at 11:00AM in the morning and 11:00PM at night. So for the two hours or so it goes high. What is causing this to happen? Is it ok for it to be high for a little bit and then come down?
