Hello,

It seems that you're having high blood pressure problems. Immediate consultation with a cardiologist is highly recommended. If cannot make it as soon as possible, then go to the emergency room now to get further tests and prescription low blood pressure medicines. Avoid caffeinated drinks and high-calorie foods.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regard,
Dr. Albana Sejdini
