Hi, dear
I have gone through your question. I can understand your concern.
Your blood pressure may be increased due to some stress and tension. No need to worry. Just be relaxed. No medicine is required right now. Just check your blood pressure again after 2 days. It will come down to normal.

Hello and welcome to HCM,
Blood pressure of an individual can vary depending on various factors.
The blood pressure can vary in same individuals.
mental tension, physical activity can increase blood pressure.
However, to label the condition as hypertension, blood pressure has to be measured at different intervals and the blood pressure should be high on three occasions consistently.

Thanks and take care
