Hello,
A single spike in blood pressure values does not mean chronic arterial hypertension. You should know that during anxiety, it is normal to have spikes in blood pressure values and heart rate.
So, in my opinion, the main thing to do is to focus on your anxiety and try to manage it. In this regard, Yoga and meditation would be helpful.
In the meantime, I recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure values, frequently during the day for a week (in a sitting position, after 10min of total relax) and take note of those values.
If your blood pressure values are persistently high, you should consult with your attending physician and have some blood lab tests done.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
Regards,
Dr Ilir Sharka, Cardiologist
