Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your BP is elevated and need to be properly evaluated and treated. It shouldn't exceed 14t/95 mmHg.

This is why you should schedule for a cardiologist appointment.

Meantime you should take a nitroglicerin pill to lower it below 145/95 mmHg.

Wish you health!
