Detailed Answer:
Hello

After going through the medical details provided by you I can understand your concern for your health and I would like to tell you that if your today dose of the medication is due then kindly take it first and then check your blood pressure afterwards.

If you have already taken today’s dose then with a systolic blood pressure beyond 180 should be addressed. It’s advisable that you should not wait for tomorrow appointment and should seek medical attention by visiting an ER as high blood can lead to devastating complications like stroke.

I hope this information will guide you properly.

Kind Regards
