What Causes Sudden Increase In The BP Level?
Hello. I had a b/p of: 143/103. Now, normally, I don t have high blood pressure. (I has lately increased, ranging between 128-138/80-84) ..but it was higher than usual yesterday. (I m 5 4. 115lbs 28yrs) and I was wondering, is that pressure a reason to consult my Dr? *since it doesn t normally go that high. And maybe I was j/stressed/anxious at the time it was taken? how do I know how high is too high?

Hi,
At this age having rise in blood pressure once in a while is no point to be worried.
Go for checking of BP for some time, once in the morning and in the evening alternate day and keep record.
After seeing this record your doctor will decide about treatment or investigations.
Avoid stress.
Take less salt in diet.
Ok and take care.
