So are there certain BP medications/ classes to be aware of though that would drop the BP quite quickly that should be checked religiously with last recorded BP

Hello :) I am currently learning all my pharm about blood pressure medications (student) and am wondering since my time spent on a ward that not many people check blood pressures prior to administering morning blood pressure medication. I am sure there is a reason for this, I am just wondering if there are CERTAIN BP medications that drop the BP or elevate it quite substantially and quickly that woudl merit a BP check prior to giving. Kind of like a PR check with Digoxin before administering.
