Suggest Treatment For Increase In Blood Pressure

I'm 34 always been fairly healthy except for the last year or so quite abit of drinking on weekends and i let my weight go. My BMI is like 34. I have some stress and lately have been feeling alot of anxiety too. For the last 2 weeks I have been checking my blood pressure at home at it is consistently around 160/85. Occasionally I have what feels like rapid heartbeat and some pressure in my chest area. Also I have family history of heart problems. Today and hour or two after working out i checked my bp and it was 200/99 and a little later it was 170/90. Six hours later i checked and it was 180/95 after watching a horror movie. Is this an emergency type situation or should i just go see my doctor on Monday?
