Thanks for your question on Healthcare Magic.
I can understand your concern.
Your blood pressure reading was very high.
So you should definitely consult doctor and start antihypertensive drug.
Your head symptoms are more likely due to accelerated hypertension. So get done MRI brain to rule out hypertensive brain damage.
If MRI is normal then your symptoms will gradually subside with control of blood pressure.
Avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Strict salt restriction in diet is needed for blood pressure control.
Don't worry, you will be alright.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
