Hi, You're fluctuating blood pressure is almost within normal limits and not really important at the moment. But as you have had coronary artery disease, you should give more emphasis on your chest pain. You should consult your doctor for adding nitrates and statin to your medications. Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
