Hello,
Your blood pressure values are really high, which imposes you at high risk for stroke or a heart attack. For this reason, I would recommend going to the emergency room for a physical exam and some tests:
- A resting ECG and cardiac enzymes
-A brain CT scan
- Fasting glucose
- Blood electrolytes.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Ilir Sharka
