Should I Visit The ER For Sudden Increase In The Blood Pressure Levels?
before I was diagnosed with high BP, I had arcs of flashing lights. This was years ago. So when I got the same thing recently, I suspected a blood pressure problem, even though I took Losartan and propranolol as scheduled this morning. this is the 3rd day of apparent (not measured) sudden rise in B.P. So I took an amlodipine, even though it s usually taken with dinner. My dinner is usually at 7 pm. And these symptoms started around 2 pm. So I m wondering what s going on. Maybe I should drive to a nearby location to get the BP checked. Good idea?

Hello There
After going through your medical query I would like to tell you that it’s highly recommended for you to get you blood pressure checked or get an ambulatory BP done and consult again with your readings.
Hopefully this information will guide you properly
Kind Regards
