Can those who have gone before with rising blood pressure provide some things to look for? I've been battling not feeling good occasionally for months. Not feeling good for me is anxious, edgey, headaches (not migraines), tightness in chest, left arm hurts, etc. My pressure has been high, 140/95, once. All other times it is higher but not high.

My normal pressure in the mornings has been 105-115 over 55-65. It is now reading 125/75, which isn't high but higher for me. When I walk into the doctors office and they take my pressure, the reading is usually 120ish/70ish.

I tracked this for years. Since it was always the same, I stopped. If it has been rising slowly, I have missed it. Could that be the beginning of high blood pressure or should I look for something else?

Thank you in advance for any guidance!
