Hello Adam,
I understand your concern.
What you had was probably a panic attack and the BP would be elevated due to that. BP up to 140/90 is normal. So there is nothing to worry about an episodic elevation to 145/95.
Take a deep breath and try to relax. This is not an emergency.
It would be good idea to restrict your salt and to lose weight if you are overweight or obese and adopt a healthy life style. If the BP is persistently elevated you would require medicine in addition.
If you have further query, I am available to answer.
