Hello,
A single spike in blood pressure values does not mean uncontrolled high blood pressure. It could be related to physical activity, anxiety, a salty meal or too much caffeine intake.
Anyway, I would recommend having some rest and taking a cup of lemon juice.
If high blood pressure values persist in the next days, I would recommend increasing the dose of Micardis or add new drugs to your therapy, in order to help maintain your blood pressure values under control.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
