Hi friend,
Welcome to Health Care Magic

At this age, secondary causes for hypertension need evaluation
Every attempt is made to find a curable cause
Ambulatory monitoring of pressure may be necessary
Episodic rise like this, may mean Pheochromocytoma…
The treating doctor alone can suggest further based on his assessment of the situation.

Good luck
Take care     
Wishing all well
God bless
