General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Hello,

Yes, can wait until tomorrow. But should monitor your blood pressure (bp), and record the results for reference.

Plus, you need a complete checkup :
- complete blood count
- urine analysis
- liver/kidney/pancreas function test
- and a further re-evaluation of the your cardiovascular system through EKG, echocardiogram and stress test.

I think you need some changes in your current medical therapy.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
