Check your machine: No you should not have gone to the er. The er is for life threatening problems of life or limb. If your BP was that high (it sounds like machine error), and you felt ok, you easily could have visited an office later to check your bp. Take your machine to an office and check your BP with their machine and yours.

No: Blood pressures in this range are not emergencies. You should just mention this the next the you have an appointment with your doctor.
