What Causes Increase In Blood Pressure?

My blood pressure is 147 over 103 with a 65 pulse.

Yesterday about this time it was 106 over 65 with a 56 pulse, I was yawning and had to nap about 30 minutes.

It remained low but I was able to function again. What is going on? I am 58 years old, female.

Hi.. blood pressure also dEpends on the physical activity.. if one is at rest the bp may be normal... similary after any sternous activity bp may rise.. these variations in bp are normal... for ideal blood pressure it should be measured after 15 min of rest... so please check ur bp after rest.. and please avoid using digital bp instrumsnt as it is not 100% accurate.. take care
