Hi Dear,
Welcome to HCM.
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have sudden raise in the blood pressure . Well the symptoms you mention in query can occur due to may reasons like stress or anxiety , several medications can cause an increase in blood pressure , salty foods or drinks can cause a sudden increase in blood pressure and when you smoke you inhale nicotine, which has an immediate effect on your blood pressure . I would suggesst you to consult cardiologist for proper examination . Doctor may order test like ECG , TMT , check vitals , complete blood profile along with physical examination . Doctor may prescribe betablockers or calcium channel blockers along with sedative and diuretic . For now quit smoking , lower your salt consumption and try to make your self stress free .
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
