Very disturbing John. Definitely get a better / different cuff and cross check your values. If these are real values, it sure looks like work is stressing you out in a major way. Maybe a career change is in order? Or at least look into the psycho side of why you are so stressed? I would also go see a cardiologist and get their input and maybe even a long term monitor from them for a pro-readout.

I have nice low pressure on a daily basis usually. I had high pressure when I got stressed over something serious at work (not a daily event) and was feeling funny. Went to the nearest pharmacy and got a reading at 140 / 90. I could feel the pressure in my cranium. I can't imagine how 160+ feels like. I was never worried about this effect as the trigger event usually only happens every couple years or so and is limited to a few days. But what you describe is chronic, even though it only happens at work.

Keep us posted!
