BP figures 180/100 are rather high.
It might have been due to sinus tachycardia (guessing).
If you gave the pulse rate also, it would be clearer.
Many in your category have pulse 100bpm +/- 10
As long as heart is strong & elasticity of blood vessels good, there are no symptoms.
Causes are:
Allergies - food/environment/geopathic do race pulse & raise BP.
Digestive disturbances also race pulse.

Lowering the pulse rate could lower BP in similar cases (Not in other cases).
But if BP detected after age of forty, it could be due to calcification of vessels.
==========================================

I had a physical at the State Dept., at around age 65, and was told that I have “labile blood pressure”. The doctor who did the physical said she did, too. The readings I brought them (because the BP was high in the office and they wanted home readings) varied from high to “normal” to very low over the 5-6 readings each day, several days’ worth, all jumbled, done with one of those wristwatch cuffs. I assumed the early AM reading would be low or normal, but in fact it was consistently high. Needless to say, I would have refused conv. meds for BP in any case, but now I am armed with a reason for refusing beyond the “white coat” high BP. Teresa (Northern VA)
