What Causes Headache, Numbness On Face And High BP?

a few days ago I had a headache and my face felt numb. a nurse took my blood pressure and it was 182/107. I have been taking it every day since then and it has been around 155/83. I cannot get in to see doctor for 2 more weeks. does this sound severe enough to go the e/r or would I be pretty safe waiting for appt.

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, it is not such symptoms that you have to see the ER, if you are on antihypertensive medicine then no need to worry at the most you can go for CT of brain just for safe side else this is nothing to worry, because numbness of face could be nonspecific, hope this information helps.
I find this answer helpful
