Hi and thanks for the query,
this is severe hypertension and normally should be managed in hospital milieu. the reduction in blood pressure in this case should be gradual and well monitored. Rapidly drops could have adverse consequences. The Er room could be an ideal place to control the high blood pressure before you might be discharged.
