Brief Answer:
detailed below.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Welcome to Healthcare Magic.

It can happen to have an isolated episode of high blood pressure .This can be related to a stressful day,consuming salty foods,in other times no cause can be found.
If your blood pressure is normal most of the time ,then episodic moderate elevations of blood pressure are not of concern.

You can try to monitor your blood pressure for 1-2 weeks.If it is over 130/80 most of the days ,this might be hypertension and treatment might be necessary.

If the blood pressure is normal most of the days ,then you don't need to worry.It is not of concern.

Hope it helps.
Let me know if you need further help.

Kind regards,
Dr.Rovena Murati

Detailed Answer:
Hello again.

I apologize for the delay in answering your query.

It might be related to irregular heart beats or episodes of fast heart beats (tachycardia ).
A consult with your physician would be recommended.Physical examination is necessary to evaluate the regularity and frequency of heart beats.

Take care.
