Is Bp Of 180/94 A Cause For Concern?

Is BP 180 over 94 an ER concern with an 87 year old woman or will I be able to wait for an appointment with her primary care doctor. She had a stroke about 4 years ago and has ongoing TIA's. This morning her speech was slurred for a few minutes but her smile grip and arm raising were fine.
