I did speak to my cardio about "situational" high blood pressure. He wasn't overly concerned as long as it comes back down and does not stay high. Also said he would be more concerned if the numbers were going up to 180/100+ . I would think it is next to impossible to keep bp at a constant low number. Life happens and some things do get me excited or anxious. Just today I am sure I had a bp spike when there was a wasp in the car flying around..... had a bit of a freak out until it finally flew out the window.

Mayo told me since mine spikes occasionally to not take it if I’m stressed as it keeps going up. At Mayo I wore a monitor for 6 hours. Average BP 103/70. I can’t take more meds. So I spoke a short time and take an extra Labetolol and Ativan and do breathing. They said do not go to ER every time you have a spike ( maybe 4 times yearly) Because it’s not sustained just a spike.
