Sudden onset of high blood pressure

I take a small daily dose of beta blocker to keep my bp at a nice 135/85. Works just fine. However every few years - no more often - it jumps way up for no discernible cause, the past few days were to 175/100 so I drove to the clinic (it being Sunday) and got fixed up (or down, actually).

If it happened more often discerning a cause would be easier.

Anyone else out there get these sudden peaks at long intervals ?

Oh, and is there anything new apart from beta blockers and diuretics ? (and meditation of course).
