Thanks for your question on Health Care Magic.
I can understand your concern.
No need to urgently visit emergency room.
You can wait and visit your doctor tomorrow.
Stress is the biggest risk factor for hypertension.
Other risk factors are old age, family history, high salt intake, diabetes, dyslipidemia etc.
So first of all avoid stress and tension, be relax and calm.
Consult your doctor and get done blood tests to rule out diabetes and dyslipidemia.
Strict salt restriction in diety is needed.
Don't worry, with antihypertensive drug, your blood pressure will be controlled.
No need to worry for much. Consult your doctor tomorrow and discuss all these.
Hope I have solved your query. I will be happy to help you further. Wish you good health. Thanks.
