Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Your BP is elevated and need to be properly evaluated and treated. It shouldn't exceed 14t/95 mmHg.
This is why you should schedule for a cardiologist appointment.
Meantime you should take a nitroglicerin pill to lower it below 145/95 mmHg.
