Only a doctor can determine if you have an underlying heart problems but the thing is that your therapy is definitely not right.

A person should not fluctuate like that with their blood pressure. Have you been seeing just one doctor during these two years? If so, then try switching to someone else and look for second opinion. If you decide to do so, make sure you tell this other doctor about all drugs you have been taking so far and all the possible side effects.

It may happen that your medications are not properly dosed and that this is why you have been fluctuating.

I have been reading that some tests confirmed that diuretics showed to be the best drugs for controlling high blood pressure. They make you lose potassium though, which could lead to dehydration but doctors usually prescribe some potassium supplements to go along with a diuretic.
