Question : My blood pressure is 150/107. I am 44 female. I take Norcasc 5 2x per day once at night once in the am but I ran out two days ago. I called it in and wil be able to pick it up in the am.
My question is if this is dangerously high or can I wait til the am? My first reading was 128/86 pulse 75 laying down but when I sat up and retook it , it was 150/107 pulse 86.

Brief Answer:
Not a dangerously high

Detailed Answer:
Dear Mrs,

It is not dangerously high especially if you have no complaints. Take some mineral water with lemon, can have a bath and wait until am.
Don't worry.

Take care
