I have noticed that my blood pressure spikes when I sit in the waiting room playing on my phone. When I sit there without holding my arms up with a phone, my BP is in the normal range for much younger people. I was at a doctor’s appointment last week and I didn’t expect to have my BP taken, and I told the nurse that it would be high, and it was.

Is it just holding the phone or what your doing/reading on the phone? Does it happen at home? I just find that interesting.
