Stress No More

I am 33 and in very good health.
I workout and eat right.
My blood pressure has always been on the low side.
I have just been through a very stressful time in my life and all of a sudden my blood pressure has gone up to between 135 over 92 to 148 over 109 / I have checked it at different times over the past few days after having a nurse tell me it was to high durring a life insurance exam. Can stress do this?

I have always had periods of depression but never like this.
BUT : I have had aseries of low paid temporary jobs in the last couple of years. Have been living in a renovation project, paint, dust, mess. My partner is unhappy with his work sitiation and to top, I have a low libido and his is through the roof. Am I going mental?
