You've probably already seen this, but I thought I'd post it for you just in case: "Left untreated, systolic BP higher than 180 mm Hg or diastolic BP higher than 120 mm Hg can lead to a nearly 80% chance of the patient dying within a year. Average survival for this group is about 10 months"
I'm not sure what you're trying to say. But your labs can be normal when your blood pressure is dangerously high (which your's is). You need to lower your blood pressure. This will most likely mean taking medication and reducing salt in your diet. It may also mean loosing weight and gradually increasing exercise.
When my BP went very high the hospital lowered it intravenously. I had to stay a few days and was put on medication. I also had a very fast, erratic heartbeat. I wasn’t overweight and was power walking 4-6 miles a day. It runs in my family.

My blood pressure when up to 234/100 the hospital ER said and all tests came back after normsl.
Your BP goes down, not up, when you die
An isolated high BP reading may be due to anxiety, pain, fear or any other cause of increased adrenalin secretion. Treatment is aimed at the underlying situation. .
.It may be due to sustained Hypertension and requires not only long term treatment to bring the pressure down, but also testing to see if there's "treatable HTN"-- specific conditions like over-active thyroid, renal artery stenosis, adrenal tumors, etc.
"Malignant HTN" is the more or less sudden onset of very hi BP (>180+) accompanied by signs or symptoms of organ damage: impaired vision, chest pains, SOB, renal failure etc https://www.webmd.com/hypertension-h...hypertension#1 Treatment is considered an emergency.
A systolic BP of 230 is pretty high for "just nerves." Even without signs of organ damage, it's probably wise to start treatment and then get brave later and try to stop it if things are going well, assuming testing has not found any obvious problems.

High.
Apparently it's pretty normal to go 300/200 while exercising. I've never taken my blood pressure while doing so but the veins in my forehead definitely think it's high.
