Severe Headaches. Stopped Medication For Hypertension. BP High Now. Do I Have To Go To ER?
I just checked my blood pressure at home it was 153/112. I do have high blood pressure and have several meds I take for it. The past couple of months the meds have been giving me very severe headaches . I stopped taking the meds appox 3 weeks ago and the headaches stopped for a week or so. They have since started back. However I still have not resumed the meds. I am out of work and do not have any insurance so I cant go to a doctor. Is my blood pressure high enough to warrant going to the ER?

Hello
It seems from the history that you are having high blood pressure and severe headache.
Severe headache is because of high blood pressure and since it is very high 153/112 this requires immediate attention and treatment to prevent complications like stroke or cardiovascular complications.
Hence I advice you to consult your doctor at the earliest for treatment of high blood pressure.
Thank you
