Dear Sir
Thanks for your query to us.
Do visit emergency room if you have any symptoms. If you do not have any trouble , just dont panic and see your doctor on priority. It is not neccessarily so that this level will kill you. This can be harmful especially if you are symptomatic for it. Otherwise try to remain calm and see your doctor on priority.
Sincerely

Hi
Welcome to Health care magic.
I went through the history you have provided here. It seems from the history that you are having high blood pressure called as hypertension.
Blood pressure of 184/82 with treatment indicate improper control. You need to go diet modification like restricting salt and life style modification. If still BP is high you need to consult your doctor to add one more drug or to change to some other potent anti-hypertensive drug.
Do consult your doctor for examination to confirm the diagnosis and prescription of drugs.
Hope this is helpful to you.
