First, you need to look up the prescription medication that you are taking, and see if high blood pressure or raised blood pressure is a side effect. If it is, you need to call your pharmacist as they can call your doctor to let them know about your problem and get you a different medication if necessary. Also, if it goes back down immediately, then you have nothing to worry about, but if it is staying elevated for at least 12 hours, then you have to be concerned.

I suggest that you go speak with the pharmacist where your prescriptions are filled! Pharmacists are extremely knowledgeable, and often more so than doctors concerning medicines (even doctors will say this). Some medicines DO have the side effect of raising blood pressure -- perhaps you have one of those? Or perhaps your blood pressure monitoring is not accurate? Perhaps both? The pharmacist can advise you, and it won't cost a nickle.
