Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Regarding your concern, I would explain that your blood pressure values are really high (especially diastolic blood pressure values). These blood pressure values are the main cause of the headache and nausea. For this reason, if you do not have any anti-hypertensive drugs at home, I recommend going to the ER for a physical exam and blood pressure medicine to help reduce your blood pressure values.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Iliri
