Hi
according to jnc hypertension is classified as
Normal Prehypertension 120-139 Or 80-89
Stage 1 hypertension 140-159 Or 90-99
Stage 2 hypertension ≥160 Or ≥100
You are in stage 3 hypertension that is severe high blood pressure
injectible anti hypertensive would be administered to you to lower your blood pressure, you should contact the nearest ER.A hypertensive emergency (Systolic over 180 or diastolic over 120. In most cases, the administration of an intravenous sodium nitroprusside injection, which has an almost immediate antihypertensive effect, is suitable.once controlled you would be shifted to oral medicines.
hypertensive urgency will be treated by parentral anti hypertensive along with that stress test and 2d echo would be done to rule out the effect so grade 3 hypertension on you heart, pain in the shoulder can be angina also hence the above mentioned tests should be done as soon as posssible thank you
