Brief Answer:
Following advice.

Detailed Answer:
Hi and thank you for asking!
I read your query and understood your concerns.

Your BP has been recently elevated and you shouldn't wait for two weeks till you see your doctor. Your BP should be lower with medical treatment and lifestyle changes below 130/80 mmHg in order to prevent medical complications including heart attacks and stroke.

This is why you should contact with your doctor to see him earlier than 14 th in order to start the treatment.

Hope this was of help!
Wish you health!
Dr. Shehu
