If that's the case then it might be an eletrolyte situation with you.  An imbalance of salt, potassium, calcium, magnesium can send bp up.  Stress will do it, inflammation will do it, ie, dental, etc.  Paleo isn't necessarily a low carb way of eating. I eat a lot of carbs in veggies and berries.   JMHO....   Oliva
