What Causes High Blood Pressure, Dizziness And Spinning Of Head?

Hey, I'm a 33yr old female with a lot of stress in my marriage. Today I woke up for work and my head was spinning. I sat there for a min thinking I just got up to fast. About 2 hrs later I was at work and I got dizzy again. I felt like I was gonna faint. I work at hosp. so I asked someone to check my pressure, it normally runs no higher than 110/60 well it was 175/101 standing. SO I sat ther for about 45min and started to feel better. When I left it was still ranging 150/99. I still am feeling dizziness but not as bad. Can u tell me what u think.
