A Relative Just Got Their Blood Pressure Checked Three Times

A relative just got their blood pressure checked three times in a row.. they tell me it is 178/80

Should they get to emergency care now? I tried to say to go right away but he says he will wait until tomorrow.

Isn't that a sign that his heart (he is not overweight) is working way too hard?
