>I found a website which discusses secondary causes of high blood pressure: http://www.heartpoint.com/highbloodpage.html. Primary hypertension is the result of inherited genes. According to the article, in about 2% of cases, there are specific abnormalities which are an identifiable reason for high blood pressure. This site should be checked out.
The above website page has nothing about blood pressure spikes. Just continuous high blood pressure. No mention of various causes of spikes I've seen mentioned on forum discussion pages. Not verified, but they mentioned vascular migraines and adrenal gland tumors.

160 is not a blood pressure. 160 over 90 would be. And if your top pressure measurement is 160, you should consult your doctor immediately! Normal is considered 120 over 80, and they would prefer to see 115 over 75. Anything over 150 is considered pretty dangerous. Weight is 104? In kilograms? If that is pounds, it is pretty low and not something to worry about. That will depend on your height.

Blood pressure can vary widely during the day. A blood pressure reading of 132/70 in the morning can be 150/90 in the afternoon - or vice versa. Most people with high blood pressure do not experience any symptoms, which is why regular blood pressure checks are so important. With 160-210 mmHg range will kill you. But having over 140/90 is signs of high pressure.

Is 160 blood pressure reading dangerous?
It depends on the person's baseline reading. Though I don't think people stroke out really until their systolic is about 200. Over time, however, a high blood pressure will cause the heart to have to work really hard to push blood out and will dilate the heart causing cardiomyopathy.
