I understand your concern and would like to tell you this sudden rise of Blood pressure in absence of any history of hypertension or heart disease can be because of anxiety or stress.
You should check your BP daily for a week if it stays more than 160/90 then a regimen of lifestyle modification have to be followed for first 3 months that includes 1. Low dietary salt intake. 2. Avoid fried food. 3. Daily morning brisk walk of 45 min for five days a week. 4. STOP SMOKING ( if you do).
I hope I answered your query if you have anything other questions I available to help.
I wish you Good health Dr. Navneet Mahajan
