Sandy, it is a little worrisome that it went up so quickly and so dramatically. Many things can cause your BP to go up, heart or kidney problems - but you usually know about them as they show up before the high blood pressure. It isn't usual that it just goes up and stays up, for no reason, but it is possible. If it doesn't come down with reasonable treatment, I'd see an internal medicine doctor (not GP) if you haven't already to be completely checked out for other problems that result in high blood pressure.
