Hypertension: You might simply have essential hypertension even though "cardiac workup all normal in Jan 2014'. CAD and essential hypertension are not mutually exclusive. Further if you have a "cold" and are taking OTC sudafed for instance, that could increase your BP now. Second, I suspect, you need to control your salt intake: make sure your diet is low saturated fat low sodium. Monitor your BP and treat
