Hi, I suffer from POTS, and especially during stressful or busy periods I feel my blood pressure rise. It is part of the body's physiological mechanism. I usually manage to balance it with medication. I suggest that you go to your family doctor to check if maybe there is something else for which the medicine is not helping.
