What Causes High Systolic Blood Pressure?
I am a 38 yo female and have tachycardia and had borderline high blood pressure then but now my BP is running about 190/85.The bottom number isnt bad but the top is so I was wondering what causes top number to be elevated and bottom number ok and is this as bad as bottom number being high?

Your BP is significantly very high.get your thyroid profile done.ECG and ECHO.
Also take a reading of your BP for atleast two weeks, after that you may require medications to control BP
