Dear
I am sorry for the symptoms you are suffering
As your ultrosound was normal you have nothing to worry too much
Anyway further examination are needed to find the cause of fluctuations of blood pressure
You need to schedule a blood pressure holter (which will measure your blood pressure for 24-48h)
and thyroid hormones (Ft3,Ft4,TSH) as they are most common causes leading to hight blood pressure
In the meantime avoid salty and caffein drinks and food
Best regards
