Remember that when inquiring about BP you must write about your weight, if possible height too, lastly was the BP taken in lying/sitting/standing posture.
In this way we are in a better position of answering your question, in fact it can be resolved in most of the cases.

Headache is a symptom of High Blood Pressure as well as the dizziness and blurred vision. In most cases, doctors can't point to the exact cause. But several things are known to raise blood pressure, including being very overweight, drinking too much alcohol, having a family history of high blood pressure, eating too much salt, and getting older.
Still there are some factors that may alter the result of your blood pressure such as when your tired. Your blood pressure may also rise if you are not very active, you don't eat enough potassium and calcium, or you have a condition called insulin resistance. You should follows Healthy Eating Pattern, Reduce Salt and Sodium in Your Diet, maintaining a healthy weight, be physically Active, Limit Alcohol Intake and Quit Smoking. But if you experience other symptoms that you think are associated with other health problem I suggest you to go to a doctor for more medical help. Hope that help!

Many different actions or situations can normally raise blood pressure. Physical activity can temporarily raise blood pressure. Stressful situations can make blood pressure go up. When the stress goes away, blood pressure usually returns to normal. These temporary increases in blood pressure are not considered hypertension. A diagnosis of hypertension is made only when a person has multiple high blood pressure readings over a period of time.

The cause of hypertension is not known in 90–95% of the people who have it. Hypertension without a known cause is called primary or essential hypertension. When a person has hypertension caused by another medical condition, it is called secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension can be caused by a number of different illnesses. Many people with kidney disorders have secondary hypertension. The kidneys regulate the balance of salt and water in the body. If the kidneys cannot rid the body of excess salt and water, blood pressure goes up. Kidney infections, a narrowing of the arteries that carry blood to the kidneys, called renal artery stenosis, and other kidney disorders can disturb the salt and water balance.

Cushing's syndrome and tumors of the pituitary and adrenal glands often increase levels of the adrenal gland hormones cortisol, adrenalin, and aldosterone, which can cause hypertension. Other conditions that can cause hypertension are blood vessel diseases, thyroid gland disorders, some prescribed drugs, alcoholism, and pregnancy.

Even though the cause of most hypertension is not known, some people have risk factors that give them a greater chance of getting hypertension. Many of these risk factors can be changed to lower the chance of developing hypertension or as part of a treatment program to lower blood pressure.

Risk factors for hypertension include:-

* male sex
* race (The African-American community has a higher incidence of hypertension.)
* heredity

* salt sensitivity
* obesity
* inactive lifestyle
* heavy alcohol consumption
* use of oral contraceptives

BP is termed as SILENT KILLER - So do not neglect and have a consultation with your cardiologist for necessary evalluation of treatement thereof -

Start out with relaxation techniques before you run for pills. Stress can make it shoot up like that. Coffee and other things like salt can also make your blood pressure go up. Try cutting down on this. When it just suddenly starts stress is usually the main factor. I hope this helps.

Answer 5

when your BP is involved, always seek medical help. they will tell you to start with diet and exercise, then move to meds if that doesn't help.

if you try to regulate it on your own then it will just take that much longer for them to help you =P
