I am a 59yr old woman with HCV caused cirrhosis.  About 50% of the time my doctor takes my blood pressure it is normal (120/70 or 80) and the other times its high (160/105) or more.  Had heart tested a couple of years ago and it was fine.  Pre-cirrhosis it was always low.  Ideas?
Hello, thank you for your question. Liver cirrhosis needs a complex treatment. If you were my patient I would suggest you to get an appointment with gastroenterologist. You need to get regular ultrasonographic and biochemistry exams to check the status of the disease. I have to warn you that liver cirrhosis is a main cause for liver cancer. You should switch to a liver friendly diet - no fried foods, no fatty things, lemons etc. etc.. Its is good for you to take regularly hepatoprotective medicines. You have to be aware of one of the complication of cirrhosis - portal hypertension. You may develop varices of the esophagi which can bleed badly. Your condition needs dedicated lifelong treatment. Hope I helped you
