J'imagine qu'il s'agit d'une comparaison de résultats de tests consécutifs. Le docteur veut savoir si les valeurs sont stables ou si elles montent et descendent comme des montagnes russes.

Alternatively \"comme une montagne russe\" to match the English, but it sounds more awkward; the sentence itself n\'est pas terrible dans tous les cas.
Does he mean, perhaps \"do they jump around as if they were in a roller coaster?\"

passent-ils aux extrêmes ?
I'm not sure why he would say that roller coasters jump up and down, but I think he's asking if the results have extreme peaks and valleys.
