Detailed Answer:
Hi back,
Thank you for providing additional data.
In this case, taking into account your actual age, I recommend to monitor your blood pressure for at least a few days until 1 week, record the results for future reference.
You can schedule an appointment with your physician after monitoring your bp to run further tests to exclude possible cardiovascular events:
- EKG
- cardiac echo
- stress test...
All the best!
