A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood Pressure Treat: Work / stress / doctor visits can cause episodic HTN which should be addressed: Lifestyle changes such as losing weight, exercising regularly, decreasing sodium (salt) intake, avoiding alcohol and excessive stimulants such as caffeine, getting enough sleep, treating sleep apnea if present all help. Low dose mood stabilizers together with 'rescue BP medication' can be used if no underlying cause.
