Detailed Answer:
Hello!
Welcome to Ask a Doctor service!
Regarding your concern, I would explain that nose bleeding, headaches and chest pain are common symptoms related to uncontrolled high blood pressure.
For this reason, the main thing to do is try to maintain your blood pressure under control.
In this regard, I would recommend you to closely monitor your blood pressure frequently during the day in the next days. If your blood pressure values are persistently high (above 125/85mmHg), I would recommend consulting with your attending physician for a physical exam and some tests:
- complete blood count, PCR, ESR
- thyroid hormone levels for possible imbalance
- fasting glucose
- kidney and liver function tests
- blood electrolytes, etc.. , in order to investigate for possible causes underlying high blood pressure.
Starting anti-hypertensive therapy may be needed.
In the meantime, I would recommend avoiding straining physical activity and caffeine intake. Lemon juice and garlic can help reduce naturally your blood pressure values.
Hope to have been helpful!

Hello again, dear Dorothy!
Your blood pressure values are really high and need prompt therapeutic intervention.
Any fast acting anti-hypertensives, like sublingual Nifedipine or Capropril would help in this regard.
Otherwise, I recommend to ask immediate medical assistance to the nearest ER service at your living area.
Let me know in case of any further question.

Hello again!
I understand your situation and would recommend starting a calcium channel blocker (amlodipine 10mg daily)and an ACEI (ramipril 10mg daily in the morning), but I am not sure if you can take these drugs without medical prescription.
If you will be able to take those drugs, it is important to closely monitor your blood pressure values in the next days, in order to make further adjustments to the doses if needed.

If the headache is related to high blood pressure or anxiety, coffee is not going to help, instead it will worsen the situation.
I would recommend taking acetaminophen 500mg and trying to relax.
A close monitoring of your blood pressure values is necessary too.

Brief Answer:

Detailed Answer:
Hello again!
The main thing to do in this situation is to try to lower high blood pressure values.
Aspirin is not necessary for such a situation as it may increase the risk of bleeding.
Nitro is usually given to calm chest pain in coronary artery disease patients, but it is not the main drug used to lower blood pressure values in the ER.
Captopril sublingual, nifedipine sublingual or any other IV drugs (antihypertensive drugs) would help lower your blood pressure values.
