Your blood pressure elevation is most likely multifactorial and may be related to a combination of: Severe dental pain and stress from the wisdom tooth issue, which can temporarily raise blood pressure significantly. Health anxiety and frequent BP monitoring, which can create a cycle where anxiety itself causes repeated BP spikes. Recent medications, particularly Dexamethasone (Dexona), which can increase blood pressure in some individuals. Diclofenac can also contribute to BP elevation in susceptible people. A few important observations from your history are reassuring: Your BP improved significantly after dental treatment and pain relief. Your readings vary considerably rather than remaining persistently high. You are checking BP very frequently (around 100 times/day), which can itself worsen anxiety and lead to higher readings. What you should do now * Stop checking BP repeatedly. Measure only: After 5 minutes of rest Sitting comfortably with back supported Two readings, 1 minute apart Twice daily (morning and evening) * Complete the prescribed dental treatment and medications as advised by your dentist. * Avoid caffeine, nicotine, alcohol, and excessive salt for a few days. * Continue yoga, walking, relaxation exercises, and adequate sleep. * Schedule a consultation with a physician/cardiologist if BP remains consistently above 140/90 mmHg over several days despite being pain-free and calm. Seek urgent medical attention immediately if: BP is persistently ≥180/120 mmHg Chest pain Shortness of breath Severe headache Vision changes Weakness or numbness on one side of the body Recommended evaluation If elevated readings continue after recovery from the dental issue, consider: CBC Kidney function tests Electrolytes Thyroid profile Urine examination ECG Ambulatory/Home BP monitoring Based on the history provided, the pattern appears more consistent with pain-, steroid-, and anxiety-related BP elevation rather than established severe hypertension, but follow-up monitoring over the next 1–2 weeks is important to confirm this. One additional point: Measuring BP 100 times a day is likely worsening the anxiety-BP cycle. Reducing measurements to twice daily for a week often gives a much more accurate picture of true blood pressure.

You mentioned  without reason.  WRONG. SEVER PAIN IS ONE OF THE CAUSE. PLEASE CONSULT MD PHYSICIAN FOR  FLUCTUATING BP AS ITS NOT SAFE TO PRESCRIBE  MEDICINE IN OPEN PLATFORM.

Your recent tooth treatment plays a huge role in these fluctuating readings. Your dentist prescribed Dexona (Dexamethasone), which is a strong steroid medication. Steroids are well-known to cause temporary fluid retention and narrow your blood vessels, which directly raises blood pressure readings (like your 160/104 mmHg) for a few days even if you have no active teeth pain or fever. Severe physical pain from wisdom teeth and the mental exhaustion of checking your vitals 100 times a day are major triggers for acute blood pressure spikes. Your body's normal baseline (130-115 / 82-72 mmHg) shows that your cardiovascular system is healthy, and these current high readings are a temporary reaction to recent dental stress and steroid medications rather than a permanent disease.
