Transient: elevations of blood pressure are NORMAL HOWEVER USUALLY the DIASTOLIC blood pressure (bottom figure) DECREASES thus 150/100 is a bit high!!! Speak with your PCP about the use of a BETA Blocker (eg: LOPRESSOR) during these "crises" AND about using MEDITATION / BIOFEEDBACK to control your anxiety and your response to it! Hope this is helpful (See the book "Relaxation Response" by Herbert Benson
