Detailed Answer:
Hi and thanks for using HCM.
I am so sorry to hear about this rising blood pressure. Please, there is no reason to go the ER now. I will recommend you get some rest and quiet time. Take the medications as directed and get an appointment to review the treatment with your doctor if these numbers remain high. However, if you have any symptoms like severe headache, muscle weakness or blur vision, I will recommend that you visit the ER.
I hope this helps. If you need more information, please do not hesitate to ask more questions and we would gladly address them.
