Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir

After reviewing the medical query raised by you I can understand your concern and I would like to tell you that the blood pressure levels which you have mentioned or not dangerously high but definitely high and requires medical attention.

It’s advisable to visit a nearby ER and get some antihypertensive medication for now and then fix an appointment with a cardiac specialist.

Kind Regards
