A little case study

Now I am only an 18D student still, but I just wanted to share this with the current 18D's and those who have experience with the medical field. A friend of mine was telling me she has just noticed within the past 2 months that her blood pressure spikes to 180+ / 90+ at random times of the day. She is 38, maybe 100lbs, and in great shape (she runs between 6 - 12 miles quite often) There is no consistency to the rise in BP and she says that her labs, MRI, CT Scan, Renal Ultrasound, and Cardiogram are all normal. The docs said her renal artery seems intact as well. She does feel winded when this seems to happen and she feels quite a bit of pressure behind her eye and it's consistent. She is going back to the doctor Thursday for a possible angiogram, but that is about it. The docs can't find anything wrong with her other than low potassium levels, and are probably going to refer her to an endocrinologist. So I was just wondering if anyone on here may have the slightest clue as to what it could be from. I'm still thinking it out myself, but it seems to be a pretty interesting case. I would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks alot,

Nick (18D student)
