Suggest Treatment For Very High BP With Sore Eyeballs And Head

My BP has been extremely high for me the past two days. The last two times I have taken it, it has read 181 over 128 pulse 95 and most recently about 5 hours from the last time it is now 167 over 110 pulse 116. Though I took a BP pill 5 and 1/2 hrs ago ... can I take another one soon. MY head and neck are killing me and my head is going to explode,.My eyeballs are so sore,

Hello,
The Headache and soreness of eyes both are related to the blood pressure being on the higher side . An disturbing fact that diastolic ( lower ) blood pressure is really high .
You have to take anti hypertensive medication in such setting , maybe the one you are on is not working good enough . So increasing the dose of same or adding another is the way forward. A visit to a doctor who can do the same is strongly suggested.
Lastly along with blood pressure when the pulse is too high it would suggest anxiety as a common accomplishment . So try calming down as by being more anxious, the pressure would still fly to higher values .

Do visit your doctor at the earliest
