Dear-thanks for using our service,your blood pressure is dangerous high, you will need to go to ER for a faster and safer treatment of it. Aspirins are good as blood thinners, but your blood pressure needs medications. You can add garlic as an adjuvant but antihypertensive are very important. You should get a low salt and healthy diet too, exercise regularly too. I hope that my advise has been helpful,please hit thanks if it was. DR.JC
