How Can Elevated Blood Pressure Levels Be Treated?

Hello, I am taking metoprolol succinate er 25mg, i took my blood pressure all day every now and then. My reading is 183/104 would it hurt to take another half of this medication. If I have to go to emergency it will go higher because I will be stressed waiting around the ER. Thank You
