My blood pressure has been spiking in afternoon evening?

Dynamic...: Blood pressure is a dynamic thing and changes within certain levels for each individual depending upon physical and emotional demands. Not sure what you mean by "spiking" but assume the reading is outside your normal range. First be certain the reading is accurate and performed well by the same "observer" for more consistency, then share these with your doctor.

Lifestyle : Perhaps salt or caffeine earlier in the day is contributing. You may need to increase dose, frequency or number of medications you are taking for high blood pressure. Keep a log of your readings and share with your doctor.
