I was surprised when my blood pressure rose to 164/90 during stress.

Last week, my family went to the hospital with a guardian because they were having a sleep endoscopy examination and procedure.

I was waiting outside, and my pulse quickened and I felt nervous.

After waiting for a while, it showed 'Under Examination' next to my family member's name, and about 30 minutes later, it changed to 'Recovering'.

I was just looking at the dashboard continuously~

Since I started to recover, I felt a bit relieved, and the blood pressure monitor in front of the laboratory caught my eye.

So I checked my blood pressure, and it was 164/90.

Wow, it's so high that I was surprised.

Should I take blood pressure medication? I was wondering.

I wonder if my blood pressure rises this much just because I was a little nervous.

Are there any people like me whose blood pressure rises sharply when they are nervous?

Is it okay to take blood pressure medication intermittently in this case?

Shall we get some sedatives just in case and take them when needed?

Please let me know if you have any blood pressure management methods or if you are in a similar situation as mine.
