[|AI|]  Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum. Thanks foe writing in to us with your health query. Sudden rise of BP can be due to any stressful event whether emotional or medical. Since u had 2 events, first the bad news and the other the urinary infection. They can cause sudden increase in BP. you need not worry and continue your medicines. Recheck your BP 3 to 4 times a week and then write in to us if the average BP is more than 140/90 mm Hg. Regards Chat Doctor.
