Suggest Treatment For High Blood Pressure

Blood pressure has been high for several mo., now. I was trying to control myself, but it hasn't gone down. Dr Appt in 3 weeks. New patient wait. I don't have a regular dr., experiencing headaches, tired, face is hot /flush feeling, some shortness breathe, joints are achey. Pressure has been over 200/ but is avg., 186/ 104. Is there a point that I should consider going to an urgent treatment center before the scheduled Appt, ? Age 42.

Hello and welcome to HCM
I have read and understood your query
I hope this will help
From the history provided by you I could say that you are suffering from SEVERE hypertension.. And needs urgent treatment... I will advise you to consult your GP immediately and start taking medications..at your age drugs like LISINOPRIL OR LOSARTAN would be the ideal choice..but before starting medicines you should also have renal function test and serum electrolytes levels at least... Meanwhile you should have strict dietary salt restriction.. Try to loose weight and do regular exercise.
I hope this was helpful...you can reach me any time with any other query
