Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.
Your BP is high and may be related to anxiety. Taking a tablet of Ativan may help to lower and stabilise the BP.
For the moment you shouldn't worry as long as the BP doesn't exceed 200/105 mmHg you should wait to contact your doctor tomorrow.
If you have one of the following symptoms chest pain, dyspnea or your BP exceeds 200/105 mmHg you should go to ER to start antihypertensive treatment to stabilize your BP.
Hope this will be of help!
Wish you health!
