Many possibilities.: Factors that affect blood pressure are diverse and complicated, and can include genetics, medical conditions, diet, medications, emotional state, among others. Also, improper technique in measuring blood pressure can result in spuriously elevated readings. Your physicians who have knowledge of your medical history and medication usage can best help you manage your blood pressure.
