I am keeping close track of my BP while on the drug. If the pattern persists, I will have my adrenal glands checked.
Thanks so much for the advice!.
Have you had malfunctioning of the adrenal glands ruled out? I am providing a link to a thread that relates specifically to bp spikes, anxiety, etc. http://***.************.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/640105472/m/9631017423/p/3
Thanks a lot for your prompt reply to my question. Yes, I suspect anxiety might be the chief reason behind my spikes. So one can still have anxiety related spikes even if he is on regular medication. I hope I've got the gist of the issue. As for hyperthyriodism, I had a test which ruled it out.
If you go from a sitting position to standing, the blood pressure will increase, and physical exertion as well. Anxiety can cause a spike in blood pressure. Sometimes an increase in blood pressure is not known...and I assume you have excluded smoking, drinking alcohol, etc.
There could be hyperthyriodism.
