Hi I had a doctors apt this morning and my blood pressure was high ?/160 my doctor was concerned and asked me to have it read again later on in the day. I work with nurses and I had them read it for me about an hour ago the results were 215/135 and 222/118 I have no other symptoms and feel fine my doctors office is closed should I be going to the urgent care? and I have never had any issues with high blood pressure.

Hi,
If reading of blood pressure is correct, this is very high blood pressure and requires to give urgent attention even you have no other symptoms.
Go for blood pressure checked at pharmacy shop and reading is very high then go to ER and get examined and investigated.
Ok and take care.
