Hi Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...

You have Bp of 166/90 mmHg & heart rate of 110. Your upper or systolic BP is very high & lower or diastolic BP is slight high. High stress as you mentioned might be reason of such abnormally high lower BP.
You should also decrease salt intake and avoid fried & spicy foods. This much high blood pressure would not be managed only by dietary changes & need some medicine to lower BP down by consulting your ER.

You should not delay your visit to next appointment & visit your ER now.

Refer to your physician
Hope this information helps
