I just went to a hospital for a research study I'm participating in, and the first time they took my BP it was 150-something over 103. Total white coat syndrome, even though I knew exactly what was going to happen to me that day and it wasn't anything bad. I could feel my BP go through the roof the minute I walked into the building. It did come down somewhat after 20 minutes or so, but not all the way.
ETA: elevated blood pressure is a common side effect of meds, though. I'm very sensitive to several of them, including OTC decongestants. Look into what you're taking and see whether that's a possibility - and talk to your doctor about it, don't just quit taking something on your own.
