HI Thanks for posting your query to Healthcaremagic.
Your BP is high but not very high to be panicked. Also the elevation in BP could be due to neck pain and headaches also. And once the pain comes down your BP also will come down .
For pain management at home you can take hot compresses over your neck region.. Even a head massage will give you good relief.
For BP management without pills you need to relax, stay calm do meditation or even sleep .
But do consult your doctor and get your BP rechecked again.
Hope you find this information useful. Any clarifications or Queries feel free to ask.
