TL;DR
For a sudden spike in blood pressure, locals advise going to the nearest hospital rather than searching for a specific doctor — speed matters more than choosing a particular specialist. Also stay hydrated and keep moving your legs (calf exercises), especially on the beach, to avoid blood thickening.
Heat and dehydration thicken the blood, which raises risks with high blood pressure — drink plenty of water throughout the day.
If lying on the beach for long periods, do calf-muscle exercises to keep blood from pooling in the legs.
For a sudden rise in blood pressure (e.g. to 160), it's recommended to go straight to the nearest hospital rather than searching for a specific doctor by reviews — high blood pressure doesn't require a narrow specialist, and delay is riskier than the choice of clinic.
