Brief Answer:
Blood pressure monitor

Detailed Answer:
Hello, madame! Thank you for your question and welcome to Health Care Magic! I read your query.

These blood pressure figures mandate immediate treatment in a healthcare facility where monitoring is readily available. There are some agents that are effective in acutely controlling the blood pressure figures, such as IV nitrates or sodium nitroprusside, but they have to be administered in an emergency room. Although further information would be useful, I would recommend you to be started on medical therapy to control and, also, prevent further episodes of these high and dangerous blood pressure figures. Consult your treating doctor about the classes of safe and effective drugs to be installed in your therapy. Also, I would recommend you to be put on a blood pressure monitor for 24 hours, to carefully assess the constant blood pressure figures, so that the treatment will be precise.

I hope I was helpful with my answer. I would be happy to help, if you have further questions.

Kind regards,
Dr. Meriton
