Could High BP Be A Result Of History Of Benign Arrhythmia?

My daughter is 30 years old. 5'6" weighs approx. 130 lbs. Swims one mile three times a week, runs 4 to 6 miles every other day and does Triathlons every month or so. While at work yesterday, (physical therapist) she had been treating a patient, felt flushed and hot and light headed. She took her blood pressure and it was 145/96. She took it this morning and it was 123/82. Later this morning after doing some moving of equipment, she took it again and it was 143/94. She was diagnosed with a benign arrhythmia as a teenager and had followups with a pediatric cardiologist until 22 years old and was released. PVC's regularly but disappear over 150 beats a minute on treadmill. Don't understand the rise in blood pressure in an active, healthy 30 year old who exercises regularly and competes in races and triathlons. Any suggestions?

Hello, isolated BP reading during work should not be considered as hypertension. If the reading are consistently higher a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure recording test should be offered to her.
You are very the that a fit 30 year old is rare to develop hypertension , two things here are I am seeing more hypertensive young pts in my practice which is idiopathic on work up, and how is her family history for the same.
Lastly there is no direct Co relation with benign arrhythmia of childhood.
