My baseline blood pressure at rest is around 115/70-120/80 but when i feel stressed or emotional it shoots from 130/80s-160s/100s. i don't know if you call this labile hypertension. i'm already on valsartan 40mg curious if diuretic would help?

Blood pressure is very labile and can shoot up in such circumstances. As long as it is a brief rise it is normal. Best to address your stress
