Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure

I cannot seem to be able to find a doctor that is accepting new patients, I am in the Eastern Heights area of Huntington WV, have Horizon Blue Cross, work at Alcon, am 55 years old, and my blood pressure is hovering around 170 over 100. Can anyone help me before I find myself in a nursing home, drooling on myself?
