A member asked:

See a doctor: These blood pressure readings are very high and need attention. With the information at hand we can not explain the reason for the change. Please see a doctor right away.

High pressures: Your pressures, more so the diastolic(lower) compared to the systolic(higher), are high. Unfortunately without knowing more about what's else is going on with you it's hard to say exactly why the change. Remember, stress and anxiety alone can cause elevated blood pressures. I would review these with your doctor, and more so urgently, if you have headaches, chest pain or feel short of breath.
