Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Your BP recordings aren't too concerning. A BP greater than 160/100 would worry more. Your high diastolic blood pressure is a little concerning. This will be brought under control by your medications. If you find that your BP is high as I mentioned above, and you have simultaneous headache, then you should definitely visit the ER. On this occasion, your headache was probably a coincidence. Try and take your medication without missing doses.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
