Unless your BP was less than 90 I would not use term spikedZ. BP changes with every heartbeat as need to your blood to where it needs to go to meet the demands of what you are going to do next. And you do not know what you are going to do next. For example before standing and after standing BP may change a lot (20 mm) In going form sitting to standing. Keep a diary with your BP & you will see.
