Take antihypertensive medications or go to hospital.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor's service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

Your blood pressure is high and you may need to take antihypertensive medications.
You may need to take nifedipine or hydrochlorothiazide to help blood pressure be reduced.
If you don't have any of them at home you may need to go to emergency room.

Hope I have answered the question.
