Should I go to the ER or is something that can wait for an appointment?
Hi Welcome to the health care magic. You did not mention your age , as this is very important point in high blood pressure cases . You should be worried but not too much. Your blood pressure not that high to be very worried or to visit E R . Once again take your medicine metoprolol , one more dose . A t present your blood pressure is 160/104 mm of Hg , this is particularly lower is high as well as high but this will decrease after the use of metoprolol . So take an appointment from your doctor and get his opinion for another anti hypertensive medicine. Hope this will help you. Further if any question I will reply happily. Good luck.
