Brief Answer:
Need to go into ER.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

Your blood pressure is mildly elevated, but I wouldn't expect that to be causing your symptoms.

I am concerned mostly about the blurred vision. I think you should go in to the ER if your vision is truly blurred or double. There they can evaluate you, including a neurological physical exam.

It is possible that the blurred vision is related to your headache, but it can be due to a number of other causes as well. So best to go in to have this checked. While headaches are not uncommon, blurred vision is a symptom that needs to be looked into.
