Should The ER Be Visited For Elevated BP Along With Headache And Elevated Heart Rate?
My blood pressure is 168/93 and I am already on BP medicine. I was having a pounding headache and heart rate between 95-118, which is high for me, at least resting. I’m debating going to the ER/Urgicare today or just wait and call my primary Dr. in the morning. Or should I just take another BP pill (Amlodopine) to lower it. I take it daily already.

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
From what you are writing, is a high blood pressure value that may need to add medications, and your heart rate is high too.
I recommend you to do a routine cardiac control with an ECG, cardiac sonography, some routine blood tests and to monitor sometimes a day your blood pressure. There is a need for them to see the cardiac health and the possible problems that may have cause high BP. An ECG is needles to see you rhythm and to see its only tachykardia or another arrhythmia.
Meanwhile you can take in ER Metoprolol to slow your heart rate and a little your blood pressure. If blood pressure continuous high you can take another Amlodipin.
All the best!
