A diagnosis of unstable blood pressure can be caused by a multitude of factors, illnesses and disease processes. Unstable blood pressure can provoke a variety of symptoms, including but not limited to dizziness, shortness of breath, instability, fainting and erratic heart rhythms.
If you have new, worsening or persistent chest discomfort, you need to go to the ER. You could be having a heart attack which puts you at increased risk for severe cardiac arrhythmias or cardiac arrest, which could lead to sudden death. Learn about an unstable form of angina called Prinzmetal angina. Causes of Unstable Angina: Blood clots that block an artery partially or totally are what causes unstable angina. Blood clots may form, partially dissolve, and later form again and angina can occur each time a clot blocks blood flow in an artery. Learn more about excessive blood clotting.
