Suggest Remedy To Reduce Elevated BP

I am 36 yrs old. 6mths ago I was told that my bp is a little high n that I should try to watch my diet n loose a little weight.. I have been working on it n have gone from 250 to 210... I am 5 9 ..I was taking it for granted that because I am in my 30s n work out more than 3 times a week n is doing an active job that everything would be fine...Yesterday I started to feel a little out of my self n desired to deal with my fears...I desided to check my BP... It was 150/96... I am so scared..I cannot get to see my doc till Next Tues...can I just get bp med at the pharmacy ? Also would BP meds mess with my ability to keep an erection...?
