What Can I Do If I Get A Sudden High BP ?

Medicated, my bp is normally 130/75 to 140/63. Today it spiked to 198/105. Should I go to the ER ? I just began to take la six this morning.

May be your stress level has gone up. Anyway it is good to get evaluated.

Hi,
Thanks for query,
If you measured your bp correctly it is more.Have you got any signs of having chest pain,discomfort,headache,dizzyness,then better go to ER and go for treatment.
Never try self medication.
Ok and bye.
