Brief Answer:
Probably hyperthyroidism.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thanks for using HCM.

I have read your question and understand your concerns.

In my opinion, conditions such hyperthyroidism ( high thyroid gland function ), adrenal glands dysfunction should be considered and evaluated further.

If these episodes of high blood pressure and increased heart rate occur again, you should be evaluated and treated at your local emergency room ( ER ).

If no such episodes until you meet your physician, then you should discuss with him about getting evaluated further with blood tests about above mentioned conditions.

Hope you found the answer helpful.

Let me know if I can assist you further.

Greetings.
