my husband went to the dr. and his blood pressure was 240/130. granted he was nervous but that is extremely high. they gave him bp meds and sent him for bloodwork and a sleep study and he is going back to dr. nexxt week after bp comes down from meds. in the meantime, he is stressing out b/c bp was so high and he thinks they should have sent him to the emergency room. he is having no other symptoms.
