Feeling Of Top Of Head Blowing Off, Severe Pain In Neck With Increased Anger. BP 180/90. On Atenalol. High BP?

The top of my head felt like it was going to blow off, neck was killing me as well. I had gotten very angry with a situation and that s when this happened. Took my blood pressure with the old fashioned do it yourself cuff and it was 180/90. I checked it twice, same reading. I know this is high but is it dangerous high? I currently take Atenalol.

Hi,
Having blood pressure 180/90 is high BP but not dangerously high.
Those who are sensitive may get these symptoms with this BP.
Continue taking Atenolol.
Go for regular checking of BP and keep record.
If BP remains constant high, your doctor will change the medicine.
Do regular exercise.
Avoid stress.
ok and take care.
