Blood pressure: Blood pressure is dynamic. It goes up and down depending on many factors during the day. When the cardiac output goes up as with exercise, the blood pressure will generally go up some. Likewise with anxiety, stress, isometric exertion and other things. How high(spike) it goes depends on many factors, over 160 systolic is elevated as a rule
