Does High Blood Pressure With Chest Pains Need Immediate Medical Attention?
My BP is 173/101 with a digital home unit. I had an EKG on Thursday which was fine. This is the highest its ever been. No blurred vision, but have had chest pains for a few days but not constantly. Should I go to the urgent care or wait and call my doctor again tomorrow morning? Thanks.
