Blood pressure

Hi - I'm sorry if the answer to this question seems obvious, but I can't find any info on it online. I'm currently taking Coreg (6.25mg 2x/day) and Diovan (80mg/day). I recently went on vacation and splurged on food - ate more than my usual portion of foods high in sugar and saturated fat. Has a temporary dip in diet quality been known to produce a temporary increase in blood pressure? I've noticed that the past few days since I've returned from my trip, my bp seems to be a bit higher, even when I'm totally relaxed. FYI - with the meds and before my trip, it was averaging around 112/60; now it's averaging 122/65.
Sorry again if it's obvious. Thanks!!!!
