Yep ...: But, you need to have this evaluated by your doctor.. We know that some things elevate your pressures.. Like pain, fever and worrying about your blood pressure. Keep a log of your pressures many times a day over the next week or so and take this to your pcp. The will be able to evaluate this easily and educate you to the problems associated with untreated hypertension.
