Dear Temsula,
A sudden rise in blood pressure to 155/95 mmHg can be concerning, especially if it is causing tension and sleeplessness. Let’s assess the situation better:
🔹 Since when have you been experiencing these BP spikes?
🔹 Do you have any symptoms like chest pain, headache, dizziness, or shortness of breath?
🔹 Do you have a history of hypertension or take any BP medications?
🔹 Have you had excess salt, caffeine, alcohol, or stress recently?
🔹 Do you have other medical conditions like diabetes, thyroid issues, or kidney disease?
For now, here’s what you can do:
✅ Stay Calm & Rest: Anxiety can further elevate BP. Try deep breathing (inhale for 4 sec, hold for 4 sec, exhale for 4 sec).
✅ Hydrate & Monitor: Drink water and avoid salty or processed foods. Check your BP again in a relaxed position after 30–60 minutes.
✅ Seek Urgent Care If Needed: If you have severe headache, blurred vision, nausea, or chest pain, consult a doctor immediately.
