I fought long and hard to manage my blood pressure with diet and exercise, to no avail. I just didn't want to be depending on pharmaceuticals for anything, but I was having trouble with sudden headaches when I'd climb hills and things like that. Any exertion would lead to a quick headache that would abate almost immediately when I stopped whatever I was doing.

I ended up in Urgent Care with the worst headache of my life. I thought I was having a stroke or something, but they put me on meds for blood pressure, and within a couple of days, it was back under control, and my activity level has improved immensely.

Call your doctor. It may just be a blip. Maybe you ate something really salty the day before or something as simple as that, but blood pressure is nothing you want to ignore.

Good luck.
