HELLO DEAR
I understand your problem, dear these are signs of severe preeclampsia , so you should consult tertiary care hospital where facilities for monitoring eclampsia are there, as you are 37 weeks pregnant and at such high blood pressure there so no benefit of continuing pregnancy , according to recent guidelines you should undergo planned induction and delivery with maternal and fetal monitorining. Thus i would advice immediately consult good hospital.
THANKS
