High blood pressure ( Hypertension) is a major cause of long-term problems, involving the heart, kidneys and brain. Although your recent high blood pressure might be related to stressful situations, lack of sleep and over-work, however this issue must be taken seriously.
I advise you to check your blood pressure more frequently either at home or at a doctor's office, and in doubt a 24 hour blood pressure monitor can be done to know for sure if you have high blood pressure or this is only related to periods of stress. In the meantime I advise you to decrease the amount of salt in your diet, decrease the amount of caffeinated beverages and sodas if you are used to take these excessively, stop smoking and try to decrease your weight, and sleep well, as all of these can have an effect on blood pressure.
Your blood pressure should not be more that 14/8, if with the above lifestyle changes your blood pressure remains high, anti-hypertensive medication might be necessary, It is advisable to see your doctor as soon as possible to deal with this issue.
The issue of numbness in the right hand is probably not related to your high blood pressure and might be due to nerve compression ( called carpal tunnel syndrome), for this too you have to see your doctor, and a nerve conduction study might be ordered and appropriate treatment given if necessary.
