Last time they check I was like 120/80, or something like that. That was even after I had two cups of coffee and some chocolate chip cookies, and still weighed 200# (175# now) . Anyway, Doc says I am fit as a fiddle. I actually have fairly low BP when I burn off the caffeine, and get some good sleep.
But, I did ask my doctor, and he said it can happen when really exerting core muscles, etc, because it pushes blood up into the head. It's what fighter pilots do when pulling alot of g's, so they don't blackout.
It went away in a couple days, and I guess it really isn't too much of a concern unless it happens alot.
