Hi
Welcome to the health care magic.
You did not mention your age , as this is very important point in high blood pressure cases .
You should be worried but not too much.
Your blood pressure not that high to be very worried or to visit E R .
Once again take your medicine metoprolol , one more dose .
A t present your blood pressure is 160/104 mm of Hg , this is particularly lower is high as well as high but this will decrease after the use of metoprolol .
So take an appointment from your doctor and get his opinion for another anti hypertensive medicine.
Hope this will help you.
Further if any question I will reply happily.
Good luck.
