What are some things that cause high blood pressure?
For me I've noticed if I talk while I'm getting my blood pressure tested, it always makes it dangerously high. I don't know if it's cause I'm long winded and I'm not getting air when I'm getting tested, or if its normal. Usually they take it again and I just focus on my breathing and it comes out good.

Excessive salt intake, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, smoking, excessive drinking, lack of sleep, stress, family history of high blood pressure, and older age,
I have most of those things lol
Stress and an unhealthy diet with lack of exercise are the main culprits. You also need 8 hours of good sleep. If you don't take care of you, who will?
There's is such thing as white coat hypertension where you experience symptoms of high blood pressure when you are with a practitioner. It could be due to the anxiety that you may experience when you see them. Salt and water intake affects your blood volume which in turn affects your blood pressure as well
That is a good reason, I think mine is cause I talk a lot
