Your post caught my attention because I have also been having weird blood pressure spikes. I'm on two medications to lower my bp, but it's not dramatically lower. The doses are minimal, though.
The situation is very frustrating. It's great that your GP is arranging testing for you. So far, all my GP has done is change or add on medication.
Could the hormone increase your having indicate a thyroid problem?

I'm not quite sure if I have had any testing done for my Thyroid, but I will look into it. Thanks! I'm currently on 3 BP meds and one I take twice a day. The water pill lowers my potassium, so now I have to take one of those huge potassium pills everyday. Just can't win lol. My previous GP only changed meds as well, but my new Doc is being very aggressive and proactive. I'm happy that I'm not going to have to ween myself off my psych meds. Thanks for the support and feedback!
