Random Blood Pressure Spikes

Recently I have woken early morning feeling weird. Checking BP found it to be sky high (e.g. 200/90). This has only occurred a few times seemingly random. I end up with being given ACE tablets which do reduce my normal readings which are in fact quite reasonable e.g. 130ish/80ish (after learning how to take BP myself properly). I have been getting palpitations which last some hours and ectopics which are usual for my age (70s). Make me wonder if I need the pills given the side effects. I have not had any recently (last couple of months).

Could it have been TIA?

Anyone any ideas appreciated.

These are interesting questions but you really need to talk to your GP about it. Good luck.
