My 86 Year Old Mother Began Feeling Bad Earlier Today,

my 86 year old mother began feeling bad earlier today, complaining of headache , ligh headedness, and no appetite. in conjunction with those symptoms her blood pressure has been running as follows today. 1;30 pm ( 185 over 100 pulse 119. At 1;45 bp was 150 over 1016 pulse 109 . at 2;46 bp was 166 over 93 pulse of 123. Mom has been on high blood pressure meds for years. Her history includes panic attacks (about 1 every 3 or four months apart one earlier this week). One kidney removed about ten years ago. Other than that she is mainly just naturaly aging with slow steps and a determination not to leave the safe3 zone ofd home, God bless her. Should we take her to ER and at what point?
