Hello and welcome to HCM
Yes surely you needs to go to the ER and get immediate treatment for High blood pressure. Your both systolic and diastolic pressure reading are quite high at with this reading you might get brain hemorrhage. Consult your doctor in ER and revise your medication and get admitted till the BP was under control. Some precaution and investigation you needs are:
1. Get your Lipid profile checked.
2. Reduce your weight if you are overweight
3. Avoid salty, fatty and oily diet.
4. do regular exercise for about 1 hour daily.
5. Reduce stress as much as you can
6. get your cardiac check up once in a year.
Immediately go to ER and get treated for High BP and after that follow the instructions as said, so that you can control your BP with minimum dose of Anti-hypertensive drugs.
Best Wishes
