Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns.
Ok, this is not so critic blood pressure and you should try to take this 50mg of losartan and also diazepam 2mg to relax your muscle and heart tonus. If there is no improvement you should switch antihypertensive medication and ask your cardiologist for ACE inhibitor or beta blocker. Also, reduce salt intake and avoid physical and emotional stress.
I hope I have answered your query.
Kindly regards. Wish you a good health.
