Question: My blood pressure feels high but my heart rate is good. It started around 1130 this morning. I do worry and stress out a lot. Sometimes I feel like I'm going to have a heart attack. I'm going to see my heart doctor on Tuesday. What should I do?

Following advice.

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

As long as you haven't experienced chest pain or dyspnea you shouldn't worry about heart attacks. You should continue with actual treatment till you see your doctor.

In case of chest pain or shortness of breath (dyspnea) you should go to ER to exclude heart attack and to receive adequate treatment.

Wish you health!
