My upper blood pressure shoot up to 200 when i was upset and then drop back to normal range. some time later when i measured my blood pressure it went up to 160 but dropped back down to 125 the next minute. what is happening to my blood pressure?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Multiple factors: The upper (systolic) blood pressure can rise due to factors such as neurogenic (stress), neuroendocrine tumor (pheochromocytoma), intake of excess salt, medications such as steroids and NSAIDS (nonsteroid antiinflammatory medications), hereditary (familial) hypertension or kidney disease. It merits a careful evaluation by ones doctor.
