Your blood pressure isn’t going to shoot up in such a short period of time just because you’re not working out. It takes years of a poor diet and lack of exercise to affect your blood pressure in that way.
However, there are other factors that can affect blood pressure. The level of your hormone aldosterone will affect blood pressure. If your HPA axis has been significantly depleted, then low aldosterone can lead to low blood pressure. As you recover and your endocrine system comes back online, you might see your blood pressure coming back up.
Other factors that can lead to high BP include chronic stress, and caffeinated drinks. If you’re partying a lot, that might increase your BP too. Also if you’re particularly anxious about something.
I hope that helps! Obviously, see a doctor if your high BP is starting to concern you or if you start to see other related symptoms.
