Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for the query
According to the history you have provided, the transient increase in Blood pressure noticed in two different occasions is termed as “Labile Hypertension” or “Transient Hypertension”. Transient hypertension signifies blood pressure that goes higher temporarily and later returns to normal.
Causes include emotional, environmental and physical. Physical cause is attributed to the intake of certain substances such as caffeine, nicotine and legal or illegal stimulants of various kinds that may cause transient hypertension.
Transient hypertension does not require any anti-hypertensive medicines, as it can be easily controlled with exercises and diet. Amlong cannot be prescribed without considering other health factors. It may adversely affect the metabolic and other health indicators. If at all you want to start on anti-hypertensive medicine, then ACE inhibitors are the best choice.
Hope I have answered your query, if you have any more doubts you are welcome.
