Hi thank you for querry,
As you mentioned your worries and depression.
So its may the cause of high blood pressure
but its only one reading which is on higher side you may required more reading at least 3 reading on higher side or ambulatory BP reading on higher side made a diagnosis.
reduce worries and tension if not consult your Dr for antidepressant.
and regular BP monitoring for prompt diagnosis and management.
Hope the answer will help you.
